Langmuir probe
Langmuir probes have been installed on satellites and sounding rockets to observe the general characteristics of thermal plasma in the ionosphere for more than five decades. Because of its simplicity and convenience, the Langmuir probe is one of the most frequently installed scientific instruments on spacecraft. While the algorithm to estimate the temperature and number density of thermal elect...
متن کاملThe Langmuir Probe
INTRODUCTION: The Langmuir probe is a diagnostic device used to determine several basic properties of a plasma, such as temperature and density. A plasma is a state of matter which contains enough free (not bound to an atom) charged particles (electrons and ions) so that its dynamical behavior is dominated by electromagnetic forces. The subject of plasma physics is concerned mainly with ionized...
متن کاملMirror Langmuir probe: a technique for real-time measurement of magnetized plasma conditions using a single Langmuir electrode.
A new method for the real-time evaluation of the conditions in a magnetized plasma is described. The technique employs an electronic "mirror Langmuir probe" (MLP), constructed from bipolar rf transistors and associated high-bandwidth electronics. Utilizing a three-state bias wave form and active feedback control, the mirror probe's I-V characteristic is continuously adjusted to be a scaled repl...
متن کاملHigh-speed dual Langmuir probe.
In an effort to temporally resolve the electron density, electron temperature, and plasma potential for turbulent plasma discharges, a unique high-speed dual Langmuir probe (HDLP) has been developed. A traditional single Langmuir probe of cylindrical geometry (exposed to the plasma) is swept simultaneously with a nearby capacitance and noise compensating null probe (fully insulated from the pla...
متن کاملField Programmable Gate Array–based Implementation of an Improved Algorithm for Objects Distance Measurement (TECHNICAL NOTE)
In this work, the design of a low-cost, field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based digital hardware platform that implements image processing algorithms for real-time distance measurement is presented. Using embedded development kit (EDK) tools from Xilinx, the system is developed on a spartan3 / xc3s400, one of the common and low cost field programmable gate arrays from the Xilinx Spartan fami...
