Plasma Frequency in Microwave Tubes and Circuits Formulas

Plasma frequency is the frequency at which the response of a plasma is dominated by the motion of free electrons, rather than by the slower motion of ions or other species in the plasma. And is denoted by f_p. Plasma Frequency is usually measured using the Radian per Second for Angular Frequency. Note that the value of Plasma Frequency is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Plasma Frequency?

Plasma frequency is the frequency at which the response of a plasma is dominated by the motion of free electrons, rather than by the slower motion of ions or other species in the plasma. Plasma Frequency is usually measured using the Radian per Second for Angular Frequency. Note that the value of Plasma Frequency is always positive.

Can the Plasma Frequency be negative?

No, the Plasma Frequency, measured in Angular Frequency cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Plasma Frequency?

Plasma Frequency is usually measured using the Radian per Second[rad/s] for Angular Frequency. Degree per Second[rad/s] are the few other units in which Plasma Frequency can be measured.
