The plasma characteristics of the extraction region in high-power RF negative ion source have a significant impact on the production and extraction of negative hydrogen ions. This study utilized electrostatic probe to investigate the effect of RF power, source pressure, magnetic filter field and bias voltage on the plasma parameters of the extraction region (without cesium), and also studied the variation of plasma parameters with position and time. The results indicate that as RF power increases, the plasma density in the extraction region significantly rises, but it also leads to an increase in the electron temperature (<inline-formula>
