The authors have developed a two-dimensional (R-Z) analytic model of an RF inductive source based on magnetized diffusion theory. For a given profile of B{sub r}, the radial component of the magnetic field, all the other electromagnetic field components are calculated. A diffusion equation is then solved to obtain the two-dimensional profiles of the ion density and power density deposited into the electrons. To determine the electron temperature, T{sub e}, and plasma density, n{sub o}, the authors also solve particle and power balance equations. They show a comparison between the analytic results and self-consistent simulation results from the code ZMR.
