The reference matching solution for ITER grouping the 24 straps of the ITER antenna array in 4 'conjugate T' (CT) circuits through pre-matching network is investigated starting from the S matrix measurements versus antenna loading made on the mock-up of the original design. Six decouplers alleviate the mutual coupling effects between the 4 matching circuits and their power sources. All matching actuators are outside the antenna plug. The matching procedure allows the control of load resilience and plasma excitation spectrum for heating and current drive.
