A: 2.45 GHz ECR ion sources are widely used for production of single charged heavy ions and secondary radioactive ion beams. This paper describes the development of a compact ECR ion source based on coaxial quarter wave resonator. The first results of extracted current measurements at different resonator configuration as a function of UHF frequency, power and gas flow are presented. At the extraction voltage about of 10 kV and UHF power about of 100 W more than 500 µA of He + ions were produced with the extraction hole of 3 mm in diameter that corresponds to the current density of 7.5 mA/cm 2 .
