The use of mixed (monopole-dipole) phasing of a set of ICRF antennas is potentially useful to optimize tokamak performance and to do interesting physics experiments. However, recent mixed-phasing experiments on JET, described here, showed undesirable antenna-plasma interactions under certain circumstances. We explore a possible physical mechanism: parallel currents flowing between adjacent antennas with different phasings can lead to arcing on the antenna with the largest sheath voltage. Means of controlling the interaction are discussed.
