Abstract
The ICRF system at the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak is in operation since May 1992. Following some modifications of which the major one was the installation of 3Â dB couplers it has become a reliable additional heating system. The maximum power coupled into the plasma has been raised up to 7.2Â MW (90% of the installed RF power) for short pulses and up to 6.2Â MW for pulses several second long with energy of up to 29Â MJ. A power of 5Â MW is delivered on a regular basis to replace two NBI sources.
