Microwave complex for obtaining low-temperature plasma at atmospheric pressure

Abstract

Abstract Over the past two decades, the scientific and technological community has made significant efforts to develop, maintain and use atmospheric non-thermal (ANT) plasma because of its numerous scientific and industrial applications. The hardware complex was designed and manufactured to produce low-temperature and ANT plasmas at atmospheric pressure. The base of the designed complex is powerful (up to 3 kW) and inexpensive magnetron microwave generator. The complex includes three types of applicators, splitter, cable assembly and water load. The splitter allows adjustable sampling of microwave power from the waveguide path to the payload by 50 Ohm coaxial cable in the range from 0 to 400 W.
