In the present paper, a device is introduced, which is capable of determining the three characteristic parameters of elliptically polarized light (ellipticity, angle of ellipticity, and direction of rotation) for microwave radiation at a frequency of 110 GHz. The device consists of two perpendicular orientated pickup waveguides. A heterodyne technique mixes the microwave frequency down to frequencies on the order of 200 MHz. An oscilloscope is used to determine the relative amplitudes of the electrical fields and the phase shift in between, from which the three characteristic parameters can be calculated. Results from measured and calculated wave characteristics of an elliptically polarized 110 GHz microwave beam for plasma heating launched into the TEXTOR-tokamak experiment are presented. Measurement and calculation are in good agreement.
