ABSTRACT:
A method of driving the electrodes of a dielectric barrier discharge device. The driving signal is a pulsed signal where the pulses have alternating polarities. In one embodiment, the pulse signal includes groups of opposite polarity pulses where a second pulse in each group immediately follows a first pulse and where the group of pulses are spaced from each other. This allows the charge trapped on the surface of the dielectric barrier of the device to be added power to the electric field generated by the following, opposite polarity pulse.
