摘要: A four-channel microwave interferometer (center frequency: 60 GHz) has been constructed to measure plasma density profiles in the levitated dipole experiment (LDX). The LDX a unique design owing geometry of LDX. main features are: (1) transmitted beam traverses entirely O-mode; (2) is heterodyne system employing two free-running oscillators; (3) four signals data are received from just on beam; (4) phase shifts detected quadrature. Calibration tests demonstrate that measures with an uncertainty approximately 5°. Plasma densities corresponding up 5π routinely and successfully measured.
