摘要
Thermal electron Bernstein wave (EBW) radiation of an overdense plasma (n(e) > n(e,cutoff)) was measured with an oblique viewing angle at the W7-AS stellarator. The spectrum consists of a local cyclotron-emission parr and a nonlocal high-frequency part. Edge-temperature perturbations excited by carbon injection were used to demonstrate the relation between frequency and position of emission. Since for EBW's no density limit exists, the operation window of the electron-cyclotron-emission diagnostic can be extended to densities above the cutoff density.
