Abstract

The development of a highly unidirectional lower-hybrid wave source would improve the electron current drive efficiency in tokamaks. Lower-hybrid waves launched from a phased wave array are shown to be reflected from a grid placed in a cold, low-density plasma. The antenna-grid combination results in highly unidirectional lower-hybrid waves.
