-(located between [[TJ-II:Sectors|sectors]] A4 and A5).
+Separate antennas are used for launching and receiving the signal. The antennas are located in the equatorial plane of the toroidal cross-section at &phi; = 45º (between [[TJ-II:Sectors|sectors]] A4 and A5), and view the plasma from the low-field side.
+Inside the vacuum vessel, a fundamental wave-guide is used to transmit the signal from the closest port (A4top: &phi; =38.17º, &theta; =90º) to the desired launching location (&phi; = 45º,&theta; = 180º).
