Abstract
The results of reflectometry measurements of the density profiles and fluctuations by both ordinary and extraordinary waves are presented. F or a magnetic field B = 0.46 T, the probing was performed in the frequ ency range f = 17 - 26 GHz. For B = 1.2 T, the plasma probing was obta ined with an ordinary wave in the frequency range f = 17 - 26 GHz and with an extraordinary wave at f = 36 - 40 GHz. The topography of the r eflecting layers and the uncertainty in their location were evaluated and taken into consideration.
