The motional Stark diagnostic has been proven to provide excellent measurements of the pitch angle of the equilibrium magnetic field in tokamaks. In this work, we explore its feasability for obtaining the pitch angle modulation of the magnetic field due to coherent fluctuations. Theoretical calculations for a signal with periodic pitch angle variation indicate that fluctuations in the magnetic pitch angle can be derived from spectral lines offset from the second harmonics of the retarder drive frequencies. The calculations agree well with laboratory simulations of magnetic fluctuations using spectral analysis.
