  The performance of Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source depends on the operation frequency, the magnetic mirror field, the maltipole field, the mirror ratio, the ECR zone and others. We studied the relationship of performance and operation frequency in ECR ion source (HiECR-3). The performance (beam intensity of Ar9+ ion) was measured according to change of frequency from 9.7 to 11.7 GHz in fixed magnetic field of HiECR ion source. We measured resonant frequencies of plasma chamber of HiECR ion source in condition of no plasma (current of mirror coils is zero). The data of intensity of Ar9+ related to measured resonant frequencies. Their resonant modes were checked with a 3D electromagnetic simulator (High Frequency Structure Simulator). As a result, it became clear that the performance of the ion source depends on electric-field distribution of the RF resonant mode.
