A cold plasma source operating at atmospheric pressure powered by a voltage multiplier is reported. In addition to its usual high voltage output, there is an intermediate output of lower voltage and higher current capability. A discharge current is drawn from both outputs. The ratio of the current supplied by each output depends on the operating state, namely, before or after the plasma jet formation. The electrical circuit is equivalent to two dc sources connected in parallel, used to initiate and sustain the electrical discharge. The plasma source is aimed to study the effect of cold plasma on the surface of various liquid or solid materials, including polymers.

In order to obtain stable cold plasma jet under atmospheric pressure condition, we designed a high-voltage DC power supply based on the principle of multilayer piezoelectric ceramic transformer (MPT). At the same time, we developed a cold plasma jet device that its shape is similar to the gun structure. The total weight of device, including the power supply and the generator, is less than 500 g. In the experiments of argon plasma under atmospheric pressure, current–voltage measurements show that the discharge actually appears periodically pulsed with a frequency of about 30 kHz. The discharge current has a pulse-width that is about 100 ns, while its peak value reaches about 32 mA. The maximum length of the plasma is about 3 cm. The further study showed that the discharge current pulse frequency is determined by the ion drift mechanism.

This article presents a parametric study using full-wave simulations about the potential use of cold plasma discharges to achieve frequency reconfiguration on a Sievenpiper mushroom metasurface. The study was done by inserting plasma tubes in between the patches of the mushroom structure, in three different positions with respect to the top of the metasurface, and varying the electronic density while keeping the plasma collision frequency. The obtained results show that it is possible to shift the stop-band generated by the metasurface around 25% towards lower frequencies for an electron density value inside the tubes of 1014 cm−3, when they are placed in between the top patches of the metasurface. Additional insertion losses are exhibited when operating near the plasma frequency.
