摘要: Abstract This paper presents a new type of slow-wave Lower Hybrid Current Drive launcher, based on the Slotted Waveguide Antenna (SWA) concept, which is particularly attractive for use in future magnetic fusion reactors. A low power prototype SWA has been designed COMPASS tokamak at IPP-Prague. The Radio-Frequency (RF) design this hybrid electromagnetic calculations, combining Finite-Element-Method, Mode Matching and RF network computations. Two samples have manufactured with different slot geometries, they first measured air. its feeding circuit discussed manuscript; measurements air are also illustrated.
