Abstract
The author presents results of measurements of certain electrophysical characteristics that determine the operation of a microwave plasmatron based on a rectangularly shaped resonator with partial filling of the resonant volume with a plasma. It is established that the distributions of the microwave field and the local electrical conductivity of the plasma along the length of the discharge region are of a periodic character with alternating maxima and minima, and the change in the values of the temperature decreases continuously from the site of input of microwave energy to the resonator.
