Apparent Frequency Dependence of the Microwave Power Radiated from Gas Discharge Noise Sources (Correspondence)

Historically it has been assumed that the microwave power per unit bandwidth radiated from the plasma of typical argon and neon gas discharge noise sources is frequency independent. There are now both a priori basis and experimental evidence for questioning this assumption. For such frequency indepe...

Description
Summary:Historically it has been assumed that the microwave power per unit bandwidth radiated from the plasma of typical argon and neon gas discharge noise sources is frequency independent. There are now both a priori basis and experimental evidence for questioning this assumption. For such frequency independence to exist over a frequency range of 100 MHz to 100 GHz the following conditions must be met: (1) /spl planck/ /spl omega/ / kT
