Abstract
This article proposes a scheme for matching microwave radiation with a magnetized plasma of an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) discharge in an open magnetic trap, using the effect of depolarization—the transformation of the ordinary wave into the extraordinary one upon reflection from the metal walls of a plasma chamber. An analysis of the efficiency of such a transformation is carried out, and it is shown that for grazing (less than 15° with metal surface) angles of incidence; it is possible to achieve an efficiency exceeding 90%.
