Excilamp with a coaxial feedline

Resumo

We describe a mathematical model of electrophysical processes occurring in the system consisting of a transistor inverter, an oscillatory circuit, a step-up transformer, a long feedline, and a barrier-discharge lamp. We propose and test a method for effective transmission of a high-frequency voltage from a power supply to the barrier-discharge lamp via a long coaxial line in which the voltage was applied to the electrodes of the lamp in the form of harmonic voltage bursts at a frequency close to the self-resonant frequency of the excitation system.
