The physical model of а discharge in the surfatron may bе described as а plasma column along which а surface electromagnetic wave is propagating from the UHF generator. Part of the wave energy Wpl is consumed to contain the plasma with а high electron concentration and the remainder Wvac is emitted into the surrounding space. The relationship between Wpl and Wvac under various conditions is considered. The efficiency of the surfatron as а plasmatron and а plasma antenna is calculated.
