An electrically conductive, generally flat arcuate anode () is positioned within each notch (), with no physical contact between an anode () and its corresponding notch (). Each anode () is spatially fixed with respect to the rotatable drum (), and is electrically isolated from conductive portions of the drum (). A source () of RF power (), operating at a single fixed frequency, is coupled to each anode ().
