Abstract
The paper deals with the measurement of the electron densityN and the transverse electron temperatureT e⊥ of a magnetoactive plasma, generated in a circular waveguide by a strong microwave signal with variable polarization. The plasma is generated in a homogeneous magnetic field parallel to the axis of the circular waveguide. The results of the measurements show the great influence of wave polarization upon the properties of the plasma. The results of the penetration of the electromagnetic wave into the plasma as a function of the wave polarization are given, too.
