Antenna Optimization By Using Finite Element Programs
Description
Ion Cyclotron Frequency Heating and Current Drive play an important role in fusion experiments. The recent availability of powerful commercial finite element programs for PC's, now allow detailed optimization of critical components as antennas to improve the power handling capability. Present ASDEX Upgrade antenna simulations indicate that the design can be optimized to symmetry the input power. Simulations also show the influence of Faraday shields and current straps with various geometries on different antenna arrays
