A front steering (FS) launcher and a remote steering (RS) one have been studied for ITER. In the analysis of a mirror(Cu alloy) for FS launcher, max. temperature of 333
C and max. induced stress of 136MPa, less than allowable stress(200MPa), were obtained at the mirror surface under 1MW/1line in CW operation. The efficient transmission (
95%) at -12
12 and 170GHz was performed for both polarizations in the experiments of a square corrugated waveguide for the RS launcher. RF and pressure tests of the diamond window irradiated by neutron were carried under JA/EU(FZK) collaboration. Neutron fluence of the window was 10
n/m
, whereas the estimated annual fluence at the window position is 10
10
n/m. Transmission of 0.48MW-30sec and 0.2MW-132sec were performed. It was successfully demonstrated that the irradiated window withstood 0.4MPa, which was twice higher than the ITER requirement. Diamond windows are applicable for ITER.

The specified elliptical polarization which is necessary to excite a pure ordinary or extraordinary mode, when rf waves obliquely propagate in plasma, for electron cyclotron current drive(ECCD) can be produced by a grooved mirror polarizer. The Joule loss of deeped groove mirrors has been experimentally investigated at a frequency of 170 GHz. The strange dependence of the Joule loss of groove mirror on the mirror rotation angle was obtained. In addition, maximum loss of 0.8% in regard to the injection rf power to the mirrors was estimated. The calculation code to estimate the Joule loss of grooved mirror is developed for the structure analysis. The dependence of the mirror on its rotation angle can be explained by the calculation results, clearly.
