The calibration was carried out in under-dense plasma against a line-of-sight with an optical thickness which varied spatially. Although multi-reflected background radiation becomes dominant in optically thin lines-of-sight, we succeeded in calibrating the fast steering antenna by including the effect of multi-reflected background radiation in the solution of the radiation transfer equation as the constant by which the temperature of the center of the plasma is multiplied. In addition, we report the initial results of experiments investigating the mode conversion window in over-dense plasma using the calibrated antenna.}, title = {Development of the calibration method for a fast steering antenna for investigating the mode conversion window used in EBW heating in the LHD plasma}, volume = {58}, year = {2019} }
