Abstract

A study of some problems associated with noninductive current drive is presented. Both slow and fast waves, weak and strong power, and transient and steady-state responses are considered. The wave-induced deformation of the electron distribution function is expressed as a linear functional of the absorbed power. This expression is then used to study three important phenomena: saturation of the absorption, coupling with an inductive field, and wave-induced electron cyclotron emission.
