In this paper, an experimental research on the discharge mechanisma of a novel hollow anode plasma cathode structure is conducted. At the same voltage and the same distance between anode and cathode, the discharge experiments on the novel structure and two-planar electrodes are carried out and the characteristics of the two structures are generalized by comparing the cathode voltage, discharge loop current (arc current) and collector current waveforms. It can be concluded that there is a cathode potential droop in the novel structure, and the collector current waveform is like a half-sine and lower than zero most of the time. The half-sine phenomenon is analyzed in detail based on vacu
