摘要：

A discharge cell is described in which direct measurements of the inter-electrode voltage, current density and phase angle of narrow gap RF gas discharges are possible, with good accuracy in the 50 to 200 MHz region. Examples are given of the use of the arrangement to determine the electrical impedance of discharges in slab waveguide carbon dioxide lasers.
