Abstract
Work aim is to present the experience of a stationary microwave source of atmospheric nonthermal plasma (ANTP) developing. The microwave plasma source will intend for R&D in existing and new technologies. As the source of ANTP we using an optimized multi-electrode microwave discharge in argon stream. The discharger is made of a resonant length segment of a hard coaxial line, fed from a waveguide-coaxial transition. Which is an open end of the hard coaxial line with special configuration for forming and maintaining stable multiple discharges.
