A Surface Plasma Source (SPS) with plasma generation by a saddle type antenna is discussed. The following features of the helicon discharge with a saddle type antenna in magnetic field are identified: efficient plasma generation in resonant condition, low gas density, strong separation of plasma from the wall, possibility to control plasma flux distribution by magnetic field configuration. Applications of saddle type antenna in SPS for accelerators for Homeland Security and for Neutral Beam Injectors (NBI) are considered.
