Abstract
By using ray-tracing method and EAST parameters, fast wave current drive was simulated in the frequency regime of ICRF transmitter, and a set of parameters suitable for fast wave current drive was found. The results show that as long as the transmission frequency is chosen to avoid the absorption on the first and second harmonics, the current drive efficiency will be improved.
