Abstract
The Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) method has proven to be a highly efficient tool for plasma breakdown, localized heating, current drive, MHD activity control, stabilization of Neoclassical Tearing Modes (NTM), etc, in plasmas confined by a strong magnetic field. Moreover, the relative simplicity of the launching systems and the big progress in the development of powerful microwave sources and high power transmission systems made this heating method very attractive for many fusion experiments [1, 2].
