Popis: As the conventional voltage and current (VI) probes widely used in plasma diagnostics have separate voltage and current sensors, crosstalk between the sensors leads to degradation of measurement linearity, which is related to practical accuracy. Here, we propose a VI probe with a floating toroidal coil that plays both roles of a voltage and current sensor and is thus free from crosstalk. The operation principle and optimization conditions of the VI probe are demonstrated and established via three-dimensional electromagnetic wave simulation. Based on the optimization results, the proposed VI probe is fabricated and calibrated for the root-mean-square (RMS) voltage and current with a high-voltage probe and a vector network analyzer. Then, it is evaluated through a comparison with a commercial VI probe, with the results demonstrating that the fabricated VI probe achieved a slightly higher linearity than the commercial probe: R2 of 0.9967 and 0.9938 for RMS voltage and current, respectively. The proposed VI probe is believed to be applicable to plasma diagnostics as well as process monitoring with higher accuracy.
