A proper method is proposed in this paper to eliminate the additional electric current by electrons with high energy in the Langmuir V-I characteristic curve when plasma consists of two groups of electrons at different temperatures and under the condition that

Ti. The study showed that after this correction the result of electron temperature measured is more reasonable. Another method to obtain electron temperature using Ion-Acoustic Wave speed was also studied in this paper. The ion-acoustic wave in this experiment was excited by either tone-burst test wave method or by CW test wave method. The comparison of the electron temperature of the plasma using the above correction method with that calculated from ion-acoustic wave (IAW) speed shows that the average error of electron temperatures from IAW speed
△Te (about 0.1 eV) is much smaller than that from Langmuir V-I characteristic curve (about 0.44eV, after the above mentioned correction). It can be concluded that to make an additional correction is a good way to raise the accuracy of electron temperature measurement while using IAW method seems better in certain cases.
