Abstract

Observations of low and high frequency noise generated in a DC low pressure arc in mercury vapor are reported. High frequency noise, monitored at 160 ± 2.5 MHz, occurs at the transition between space charge limited and temperature limited cathode operation and propagates in the form of surface waves. Low frequency noise spectra are recorded in both cathode regimes, and deviations from simple ion sound generation established.
