Abstract

A numerical code has been developed to treat the mode conversion process between electromagnetic and electron Bernstein waves for arbitrary propagation angle and polarization considering real experimental configurations on various devices. Robustness of any heating/detection condition with change of the plasma parameters or the frequency can be also estimated with this numerical code in a short time.
