 note = {Nuclear fusion research requires the production of high-temperature plasma. One of the plasma heating methods is the use of radio frequency (RF) waves. The RF wave heating system uses a high-power amplifier, which poses a concern about the leakage electromagnetic fields. Therefore, a new wide-area multipoint electromagnetic monitoring system using personal RF monitors has been developed. The developed monitoring system was applied to the megawatt-class amplifiers for the “ion cyclotron range of frequency” (ICRF) heating system in the frequency range of ion cyclotron resonance from 30 to 40 MHz. As a result, the leakage magnetic field was less than the measurement sensitivity during the plasma experiment, in which the leakage electric field was detected with sufficient sensitivity. The leakage electric field becomes larger as the RF forward power increases, and thus the electric field would be radiated through the stub and/or high voltage supply line connected to the anode of tetrode in the ICRF amplifier. The electric field around the ICRF amplifiers did not exceed the reference level of International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The developed wide-area multipoint monitoring system will be useful for monitoring the leakage RF electromagnetic fields around the ICRF heating system at the future fusion devices.},
