Abstract
The measurements of axial harmonics distribution of the radial component of the electric field have been made for a torch discharge burning in argon and argon-air mixture. The resonant character of the electric field fourth harmonic attenuation has been found. Using the Saha formula for the two-temperature plasma the electrons concentration and the electrons Langmuir frequency of the investigated plasma discharge have been evaluated.
