Abstract
A distributed resistance corona generating device includes an insulating substrate, a resistive material layer deposited on the substrate to a uniform thickness, and a plasma gap separating the resistive material layer into at least two resistive material regions. A voltage is applied to the resistive material regions through electrodes arranged on the resistive material regions so that a uniform resistance is provided between the power supply and the points on the resistive material regions immediately adjacent to the plasma gap. The distributed resistance corona generating device is inherently self regulating to provide a uniform charging potential along the plasma gap.
