The all-permanent magnet, 6-GHz 'flat-B' (or 'volume'-type) ECR ion source at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory can be equipped with a RF polarizer for injection of right-hand circularly polarized (RHCP) or left-hand circularly polarized (LHCP) microwave radiation into the plasma chamber. Testing of the source with the polarizer is made using Ar as the operating gas. Comparison of the source performance with and without the polarizer will be given in this report.
