Abstract

Two independent methods are applied to measure the impedances of an rf excited carbon-dioxide slab laser and of a discharge test chamber. The rf feedthroughs are chosen as reference ports for the measurements. One method using an adjusted matching network and a network analyzer is compared with another method measuring two signals representing current and voltage with a digital oscilloscope and processing them using a computer.
