Abstract
A two strap fast wave antenna has been developed which is capable of o perating at arbitrary phasing for any level of plasma loading resistan ce. Recent advances in the understanding of the rf-edge plasma interac tion have been incorporated in the design as well. The result is an an tenna which operates without Faraday shielding while greatly reducing rf-induced scrape-off layer perturbations and impurity influx.
