Fusion Plasma Diagnostics with mm-Waves: An Introduction

Filling a gap in the literature, this introduction to the topic covers the physics of various microwave diagnostics established on modern fusion experiments, and the necessary technological background from the field of microwave engineering. Written by the most well-known mm-wave diagnosticians in the field of fusion physics, the textbook includes such major diagnostic techniques as electron cyclotron emission and absorption, reflectometry, interferometry and polarimetry, scattering, and phase contrast imaging.
