Abstract
In this paper, a high-precision electromagnetic measurement system suitable for a high-temperature and high-speed plasma is built to provide a platform for scientific research on the interaction mechanism of the electromagnetic fields and a plasma. This paper presents a method to measure the electromagnetic field inside a plasma by using a probe and Poynting vector conversion, which is a new and completely different method from the traditional method of measuring the electromagnetic field inside plasma. In addition, for this system and method, this work designs a microstrip antenna probe that can suppress multipath effects. This method is confirmed to be valid and usable after closed-loop verification by the CST software.
