The Compact Ignition Tokamak (CIT) operating scenario calls for ramping the toroidal magnetic field from B{sub T} = 8.0 to 10.0 Tesla in a few seconds, followed by a burn cycle and a ramp-down cycle. Simultaneously, the plasma must be heated from an initial low beta equilibrium ({bar {beta}} {approx equal} 0.44% at 7.0 to 8.0 Tesla) to a final burn equilibrium ({bar {beta}} = 2.5--5.5%) having 10.0 Tesla on the magnetic axis. This paper proposes ECRF heating of CIT to ignition utilizing a constant source frequency but with a time dependent, variable angle of injection. 10 refs., 3 figs.
