Abstract The shift of the resonant frequency of microwave cavities excited in TM0m0 (m=1, 2, 3), TMl10 (l=1, 2), TE01n (n>0 integer) modes under the influence of a plasma is calculated for arbitrary radii of plasma and cavity for Bessel profile and common parabolic profiles.In measuring the frequency shift for two of the cited cavity mode types an approximate electron density profile can be determined from the submitted diagrams.

AbstractThe eigenvalue equation of a plasma-discharge tube configuration in a cylindrical microwave cavity is derived and solved numerically by an exact theory for TMlm0 , TM0mn, and TE0mn resonance modes. The radial and axial electron density profiles are assumed to be homogeneous. The factors of proportionality between electron density and shift of the resonance frequency derived from the linear perturbation theory are compared with the exactly computed eigenvalues. Hence the range of validity of the linearly computed factors of proportionality (geometry factors) can be established. By considering the influence of the discharge tube the geometry factors are altered and consequently the sensitivity of the measurement. The influence of the discharge tube can be taken into account by means of suitable correction factors.
