Abstract
A high temperature plasma generating system has a magnetron joined to a frustoconical waveguide reflector. An antenna is set on a cavity magnetron tube and extends the length of the antenna. Applying electrical power to the magnetron creates multipactor in the frustoconical waveguide reflector, generating plasma focused at the tip of the extended magnetron antenna.
