New alignment methods of millimeter-wave transmission lines for Electron Cyclotron resonance Heating are proposed and evaluated on a high power level. These methods are based on the measured data of infrared images on the target, which is irradiated by the high power millimeter-waves at several positions. The first and second moments and retrieved phase obtained from these data are used to determine the propagation direction of the millimeter-wave beam along the waveguide axis. It is
