Abstract :
Passive radio spectroscopy (1 to 400 MHz) of an air and nitrogen atmospheric dielectric barrier plasma is performed. It is found that the plasma noise floor increases with applied voltage and increases with the inverse of the electrode gap. The air discharge has an enhanced noise emission with respect to nitrogen.
