Abstract :
In LHD, an ECH system for fusion-relevant plasma heating has been greatly progressed with the development of megawatt gyrotrons. Net power of 3.7 MW could be injected into LHD. For stable operation, a new position and profile monitor of the mmw-beams in evacuated transmission lines is developed.
