In this paper, the experimental results of Alfven wave excitation in KT-5B Tokamak are presented. The results show that there is a quite broad excitation region for shear Alfven waves, the wave energy coupling indicated by the antenna loadings increase as the plasma current and toroidal magnetic field increase. The electron temperature threshold effects and the preliminary evidence of the surface electrostatic wave are observed.
