Resumo
 
Reflectrometry is influenced by plasma perturbations and turbulence, making the understanding of how signals are affected by such phenomena of prime importance. In this work we look at the effect magnetic islands with turbulence have on the amplitude and phase of reflectometry signals. For this purpose we resort to a two-dimensional finite difference time domain code and use a turbulence model based on experimental data. We investigate the possibility of occurrence of destructive interference due to a chain of islands and the role turbulence plays. The simulation of an island with turbulence present at the resonant surface q52, with dimensions of the same order of magnitude as the phenomena observed on ASDEX Upgrade on Tore Supra, is also done with results which are in agreement with experimental observations.
