Electron cyclotron emission (ECE) is a powerful diagnostic in a high performance/high magnetic field, magnetic confinement experiment, for a number of reasons. The most important one is probably due to the spatial localization of the ECE source, as opposed to most passive plasma diagnostics which perform line integrated measurements. The novel technique of ECE imaging, made possible by the existence of new arrays of high frequency mixers, fully exploits this property of ECE. A description of the device, an analysis of its characteristics, and a review of its preliminary results on TEXT-U will be given.
