A method for precise measurement of absolute electron density in the plasma using plasma frequency is proposed. The phase difference between two antennas (radiating and detecting antennas) and its slow time modulation was used, instead of the transmittance used in previous cutoff probe, and a remarkable result is observed. This method can determine the absolute electron density precisely: It is not only in a good agreement with the previous method very closely but also is able to find the cutoff point clearly even in difficult conditions where there are ambiguities to determine the cutoff point with previous method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
