The full Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) launcher in JET has been completed and installed. Up to 6 MW has been coupled to the plasma and 2 MA full current drive was achieved with 4 MW of LH power. Coupling is improved by using active feedback control on the launcher and plasma position. A new launcher design concept, called Hyperguide, has been developed and tested successfully in JET to replace eventually conventional launchers using multijunctions for next step machines like ITER.
