Calculation of Microwave Breakdown Electric Field Using the Equivalent Characteristic Diffusion Length
A method to calculate the breakdown electric field using the equivalent characteristic diffusion length is proposed to eliminate the large deviation in value and even in tendency between the microwave breakdown electric field calculated by the diffusion-controlled breakdown mode and the experiment in the lower pressure. The method combines the actual characteristic diffusion length with the electron mean free path
so that the electron collision probability has a higher value to meet the requirements of the breakdown mode used in the lower pressure. The relation between the equivalent characteristic diffusion length and the breakdown threshold is analyzed to give an expression of the equivalent characteristic diffusion length
and then the microwave breakdown electric field in air for parallel plate discharge system is calculated. The results show that the breakdown electric field calculated by the method agrees well with the experimental data both in tendency and in value
and when the frequency is 0.994 GHz
the electrode gap is 1.98 cm and the pressure is 6.65 Pa
the calculation error is only 11% of the error with the actual characteristic diffusion length being used. Both the calculation and the experiment results also show that the breakdown electric field increases and tends to a fixed value when the gas pressure decreases.
