TJ-II has an AM reflectometer [1] for measuring electron density profiles with a temporal resolution of 2 ms (located between sectors A4 and A5).

Apart from that, a fast frequency hopping reflectometer [2] working in the Q-band (33 - 50 GHz) was used from 2004 - 2008 in perpendicular incidence (conventional reflectometry) [3] .

Schematic drawing of the Doppler Reflectometer System of TJ-II.

Since February 2009, the frequency hopping system is in operation in oblique incidence (Doppler reflectometry, sector C6) [4], measuring plasma density fluctuation velocities and their wave number spectra.
