Experimental verification of ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) wave coupling is crucial to gain insight into the physics of the improvement of ICRF antenna coupling. The progress of ICRF antenna coupling experiments on EAST has been reported since 2007. The dependence of the loading resistance on the target plasma parameters, operational regimes and synergic heating scenarios on EAST are reviewed. Results show that the antenna coupling resistance R _c in L-mode regime meets the relation of R _c ∝ exp(−1.5k _∥ x _c), which is in good agreement with the simulation results with a perfectly matched layer method, where k _∥ is the dominant launched parallel wave number and x _c is the distance of the ICRF antenna and fast wave cut-off layer. Low plasma current, gas puff in the magnetic connections with the ICRF antenna and lower hybrid wave/electron cyclotron heating are beneficial for improving ICRF antenna coupling. The antenna coupling has a strong response during large edge-localized modes (ELMs) but it becomes steady state during ELM free. The study of ICRF antenna coupling under various parameters is helpful to optimize the ICRF wave heating scenario and understand the physical mechanisms which influence the ICRF wave coupling in plasmas.

离子回旋加速器频率范围（ICRF）波耦合的实验验证对于深入了解改善ICRF天线耦合的物理学至关重要。自2007年以来，已经报道了ICRF天线在EAST上进行的实验的进展。综述了负载电阻对EAST的目标等离子体参数，操作方式和协同加热方案的依赖性。结果表明，该天线耦合电阻ř _Ç在L模式制度符合的关系ř _Ç αEXP（-1.5 ķ _∥ X _Ç），这是在与仿真结果与完全匹配层的方法，其中，良好的一致性ķ _∥是主要的发射平行波数，而x _c是ICRF天线与快速波截止层的距离。低等离子电流，与ICRF天线的磁性连接中的气泡以及较低的混合波/电子回旋加速器加热对于改善ICRF天线的耦合都是有益的。天线耦合在大边缘定位模式（ELM）期间具有很强的响应，但是在没有ELM的情况下变为稳定状态。对各种参数下的ICRF天线耦合进行研究有助于优化ICRF加热情况，并了解影响等离子体中ICRF耦合的物理机制。
