Tokamaks are used to confine plasmas which are used in fusion research. These plasmas reach temperatures of millions of degrees which make conventional measurements techniques impossible. By observing the microwave radiation emitted from the plasma it is possible to diagnose the temperature of the plasma at different locations. In this project, numerical investigations of the microwave radiation transport in fusion plasmas will be performed. The simulations will be compared to measurements from the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak, located in Germany, performed by the DTU section of Fusion Energy and Plasma Physics. Finally, different properties of the plasma will be deduced.
