β¦ Synopsis
We describe experiments which investigate the characteristics of a test ICRF coupler. The RF magnetic fields near the antenna are measured in vacuum and in plasma. Results are modelled using the code ANTENA in plasma; details of the vacuum fields are modelled with the code ARGUS. For the plasma experiments, the antenna is mounted in the central cell of the Phaedrus-B tandem mirror. ICRP modification of the edge plasma potential at the Faraday shield and coupling to electrostatic modes are also investigated.

The plasma boundary in front of and outside the JET ICRF antenna Faraday screen has been studied using Langmuir probes. Plasma densities of ns -10'5-10'6 rns3 and electron temperatures T, -20-80 eV have been measured at the Faraday screen. Both ns and T, scale almost linearly with total input power
