This paper presents an experimental analysis of the electrical and optical behaviour of positive point-plane corona discharges. The measurements of the instantaneous corona current and the current-voltage characteristics are used with the imagery analyses (CCD and streak camera) to determine the streamer properties such as the streamer morphology and velocity with the primary and secondary streamer developments. These analyses are performed first in synthetic air as a function of operating parameters such the applied voltage. Then the effect of gas mixtures (several proportions of N2, O2 with or without CO2) is analysed. When the gas concentration is varied the discharge morphology, the shape and amplitude of the corona current are significantly affected due to the variation of the gas electronegativity following its composition and concentration.
