Extraordinary $(X)$ waves are perpendicularly injected for electron Bernstein $(B)$ wave heating into an Ohmically heated plasma from the inboard side in the WT-3 tokamak. Measurements show that absorption does not take place at the electron cyclotron resonance layer nor the upper hybrid resonance layer, but does happen midway between them. This is consistent with the ray tracing prediction, i.e., the poloidal field and poloidal inhomogeneity of toroidal field lead the $B$ waves to have a large parallel refractive index ${N}_{\ensuremath{\parallel}}$ $(g1)$, and the $B$ waves are damped away via the Doppler-shifted cyclotron resonance.
