Résumé : An ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) antenna system must launch radio frequency (RF) power with a wavenumber spectrum which maximizes the coupling to the plasma. It should also ensure good absorption while minimizing the wave interaction with the plasma edge. Such interactions lead to impurity release, whose effect has been measured far from the antenna location (Klepper et al. 2013; Wukitch et al. 2017; Perkins et al. 2019) and can involve the entire scrape-off layer. In the normal heating scenario, for which the frequency of the waves launched by the antenna is larger than the ion cyclotron frequency of the majority ions ω > ωci, maj, release of impurities due to ICRH can be affected by minimizing the low
