Atmospheric pressure plasma sources used in many industrial, environmental, light sources, biological, and medical applications. Aiming these prospects, an effort has been remunerated for the design and construction of a cost-effective atmospheric pressure high frequency (30 KHz) plasma source. The major sections include in this source are, (i) DC power suppliers, (ii) A set of Class A push-pull power amplifiers, (iii) Ferrite core high-frequency power transformer, (iv) Impedance matching network, and (v) Electrode design for plasma production. Two power suppliers have been considered; one is a 12V DC for biasing the base of the 2N3055 power, and the other is a 90V DC for biasing the Class A push-pull power amplifier. Class A push-pull power amplifier is chosen because of its high efficiency of about 50% concerning other types of amplifiers. Ferrite core high-frequency power transformer is designed with a turn ratio of 1:3 in order to step up the voltage to a certain level for producing atmospheric pressure plasma. An impedance matching network is designed to transfer maximum power from the source to the plasma load.
