Abstract
Testing results of a microwave plasma generator (plasmatron) intended for e xcitation of a strongly nonequilibrium plasma are presented. Nonequilibrium properties of the plasma are described in detail. The plasma flame is form ed at an open end of a coaxial line under atmospheric pressure. Argon is us ed as plasma forming gas, and a 10 GHz CW magnetron with 10 W output power is used for plasma excitation. The efficiency of absorption of microwave po wer in the plasma is higher than 90% with specific absorbing capacity of 0, 4... 4 kW/cm(3).
