Abstract
The analytical solution of Laplace's equation with symmetrical potential profile has been obtained for coplanar dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) cell. The breakdown characteristics of the cell with different configurations have been investigated based on the analysis of Paschen's law along different discharge paths in the space. The results show that the breakdown voltage and the discharge path depend on the parameters of the cell including the second electron emission coefficients of the dielectric surface, the length of electrode gap, the dielectric layer etc. A lower breakdown voltage and required discharge mode can be obtained by designing the DBD configuration properly.
