Abstract:
1. A plasma generator, comprising: a substrate having a first surface and a second surface; a linear strip having a first end and a second end provided on the first surface of the substrate, the linear strip having a length that is an odd integer multiple of λ/4 at an operating frequency; a ground plane provided on the second surface of the substrate, the first end of the strip being connected to the ground plane; a ground electrode provided on the first surface of the substrate adjacent to, and spaced apart from, the second end of the strip to define a discharge gap between the second end of the strip and the ground electrode, wherein the ground electrode is connected to the ground plane; and a power connector coupled to the strip for connection to a power source for supplying power to the plasma generator.
