N2 - Surface dielectric barrier discharges (SDBDs) have been gaining interest in part due to their scalability and flexibility of materials used, allowing larger electrodes with more complex geometries. This paper seeks to elucidate the properties of SDBD geometries utilizing differing repeated lattice structures. Voltage and current traces, optical emission spectroscopy, digital imaging, and numerical analysis are used to analyze the electrodes. Temporally and spatially averaged reduced electric fields and the total power deposited into the plasma are presented. The averaged reduced electric field is not significantly affected by increasing applied voltage, but minor variations could be observed due to the geometry of the electrode lattice structures. Finally, plasma power does not track linearly with perimeter in these more complicated lattice structures.
