Title :
Comments on "Measured Noise Temperature Versus Theoretical Electron Temperature for Gas Discharge Noise Sources" [Letters]
Abstract :
Previously published microwave noise temperatures from wall-contained argon discharges at 200 mA dc are compared with the electron temperatures predicted by von Engel and Steenbeck. A good agreement between data and theory results if the ionization efficiency is modified to account for stepwise ionization.
