We investigate the transmission spectrum of a cutoff probe in magnetized plasma using a circuit simulation and experiment. The circuit simulation was calculated using a permittivity tensor that can be changed depending on the direction of the magnetic field and electric field which is generated by radiating antenna of the cutoff probe instead of a permittivity of non-magnetized plasma. The experiment was performed at various probe directions and magnetic field strength while maintaining the plasma density constant. When the magnetic field and electric field are same directions, the measured cutoff frequency can be used for the plasma frequency (fpe) same as non-magnetized plasma results. However, electric field is perpendicular with the magnetic field, the measured cutoff frequency can be considered for upper hybrid frequency (fuh = (fpe2 + fce2 )1/2). All results are consistent with a circuit simulation results.
