Radial antenna and plasma device using it
First Claim
1. A radial antenna characterized by comprising a first conductive plate in which a plurality of slots are formed, a second conductive plate having a microwave inlet and disposed opposite to said first conductive plate, a ring member for connecting peripheral edges of said first and second conductive plates, and a conductive adjusting member provided on said second conductive plate in a radial waveguide formed by said first and second conductive plates and serving to adjust a distance up to said first conductive plate.

Abstract
A plasma device includes a first conductive plate (31) in which a plurality of slots (36) are formed, a second conductive plate (32) having a microwave inlet (35) and disposed opposite to the first conductive plate (31), a ring member (34) for connecting peripheral edges of the first and second conductive plates (31, 32), and a conductive adjusting member (37) provided on said second conductive plate (32) within a radial waveguide (33) formed by the first and second conductive plates (31, 32) and serving to adjust a distance (d1, d2) up to the first conductive plate (31). With this arrangement, a desired electric field radiation distribution can be obtained without inducing abnormal discharge.
