The rf technology program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is highlighted. Simply stated, the objective of the program is to develop the technology for ion cyclotron range of frequencies heating of the fusion machines leading up to a reactor. Results from an investigation of the importance of current strap shaping in compact antenna design are presented. Designs of the Doublet III-D and Advanced Toroidal Facility compact loop launchers are described, as are the vacuum feedthroughs for the West German tokamak TEXTOR and the Tandem Mirror Experiment Upgrade (TMX-U).
