We used the Green's function method to solve the quasilinear Fokker-Planck equation and obtained the rf wave current-driving effeciency in non-uniform plasmas. It is shown that the current-driving effeciency increases considerably if the non-uniformity is taken into account, and the effeciency decreases with increasing β.
