  • Abstract
    Radiation patterns for the general case of TE_{0n} excitation of Wengenroth\´s mode transducing antenna are derived. The antenna seems well suited for application as a launcher for electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) plasma heating. Gain and launching efficiency are calculated. Very good agreement is found between predictions and experimental results for TE_{01} mode excitation.
