Summary:To meet the demand for information on electron temperature fluctuations in low magnetic field experiments in the Large Helical Device (LHD), a new ECE radiometer covering the Q and V bands has been installed. Combination mirrors are installed in the vacuum vessel to focus the beam and efficiently propagate the radiated electron cyclotron waves. Notch filters are used to eliminate stray light from the gyrotron, and a 32-channel heterodyne radiometer is constructed using a filter bank system. As a result, oscillations of electron temperature and both electromagnetic and electrostatic fluctuations were successfully observed.
