Abstract

The possibility of local measurement of the fluctuation level of the radial plasma velocity using equatorial enhanced scattering of a narrow microwave beam in the upper hybrid resonance in internal regions of tokamak plasma is demonstrated. Restrictions of the proposed method at the plasma periphery where the density fluctuation amplitude increases and small-angle scattering of microwaves by the fluctuations along the path to the upper hybrid resonance and back becomes significant are clarified.
