Abstract
We present an experimental study of the electromagnetic properties of transverse magnetic modes in a corrugated-wall cavity filled with a ra dially inhomogeneous plasma. The shifts of the resonant frequencies of a finite-length, corrugated cavity were measured as a function of the background plasma density and the dispersion diagram was reconstructe d up to a peak plasma density of 10(12) cm(-3). Good agreement with a calculated dispersion diagram is obtained for plasma densities below 5 X 10(11) cm(-3).
