Overdense radio frequency source
Description
One of the more attractive techniques for the supplementary heating of large tokamak devices involves the application of radio frequency power near the lower hybrid frequency (LHF). The fundamental engineering advantages of this approach are twofold: (1) At frequencies corresponding to the LHF (1-3 GHz) in reactor-sized tokamaks, very powerful (approximately 0.5 MW, continuous wave) sources already exist. (2) The power may be transmitted to the plasma by means of waveguide, so that one has a ''coil-less'' rf injection system. The characteristics of the rf produced plasma were studied to develop the parametric gap between the test devices and the ATC Tokamak
