Abstract
In the first part of this paper [1] a phase-sensitive waveguide reflectometer system has been described. The application of the reflectometer to the diagnostics of low pressure gas discharge plasmas is discussed below. A description of direct measurements of electron density in a positive column of glow discharge plasma in noble gases is presented. The measurements were performed in steady state conditions, as well as in presence of density oscillations.
