The wave patterns obtained by full wave calculation have been compared with the trajectories obtained by multi ray tracing calculations. For the X-mode and the O-mode reflected near each cutoff, wave patterns obtained by full wave calculations and trajectories obtained by multi ray-tracing correspond to each other well. On the contrary, trajectories of the rays restarted at the high field side of the evanescent region between the plasma and the left handed cutoffs do not cover fully the wave patterns after the O-X mode conversion obtained by full wave calculations. Improvement of the manner to restart the ray-tracing is required. This improvement can provide a more precise view of the propagation of the EBWs and may contribute to examining scenarios for electron Bernstein wave heating.}, title = {Comparison between Full Wave and Ray-Tracing Calculations to Examine Scenarios for Electron Bernstein Wave Heating in LHD}, volume = {11}, year = {2016} }
