A new ECH/ECCD system using an 88GHz gyrotron for the WT-3 Tokamak ({ital R}{sub 0}=65{ital cm}, {ital a}=20{ital cm}, {ital B}{sub {ital T}0}{le}1.75{ital T}) is under making. Taking advantage of a relatively short wavelength and the Gaussian beam output mode, we plan ECH/ECCD experiments with a strongly focused beam in order to achieve local modification of the electron temperature and current profiles for investigation of MHD instabilities. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
