Popis: Self-sustained current oscillations in a Townsend discharge that is excited in a short plane discharge gap and is uniform along the electrode surface are investigated experimentally. A thin semiconductor plane serves as a discharge cathode, a ballast resistor, and an additional capacitor in the dc power supply circuit. The domain of existence and the frequency and waveform of oscillations are determined over a wide pressure range.
