Abstrakt: This paper deals with the investigation and the simulation of the electromagnetic power transmitted in a WR 340 waveguide partially filled with argon plasma over a range of frequencies enabling the propagation of the fundamental mode TE10. Unlike previous approaches where the permittivity of the plasma is either considered constant, or evaluated at a fixed frequency or where the collision frequency is neglected, the analysis takes into account the variations of this parameter in determining the power absorbed by the plasma and a FEMLAB simulation is undertaken to show the variations of the electrical field Results show that at frequencies close to the plasma frequency the amount of power delivered to the plasma is minimal due to maximal attenuation.
