Abstract
The application of a large angle microwave scattering diagnostic to the J.E.T. plasma in order to detect the penetration of the Lower Hybrid heating waves is examined. Fun damental equations of the coherent scattering are briefly reviewed and the scattered power is described on the basis of a full electromagnetic warm plasma dispersion relation. The choice of the best suited incident wavelength and its consequences on the performances of the scattering experiment (range of measurable n”, refraction effects, spatial resolution, etc.) are considered. The feasibility of such an experiment with the existing sources and technology is also considered.
