主 题:ICRF antenna design input impedance plasma coupling
摘 要:An antenna array suitable for plasma heating and current drive has been designed for the ion cyclotron resonance frequency range (ICRF) heating on the EAST superconducting tokamak. The ICRF heating is planned to operate in a frequency range of 30 MHz to 80 MHz and hence the antenna geometry is optimized for 55 MHz. The design is based on the conventional strap antenna element. The coupling properties of the antenna are calculated with a slab model of the plasma for the antenna simulation. The coupling code is extended for the analysis of the toroidal antenna array separated by septa.
