A Waveguide Antenna with an Extended Angular Range for Remote Steering of Wave-Beam Direction

  • 1. Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Applied Physics (Russian Federation)

Description

A new method for increasing the angular range of a waveguide antenna for remote steering of the wave-beam direction in thermonuclear-fusion experimental setups with plasma magnetic confinement is proposed. Characteristics for large beam inclination angles can be improved using the synthesized nonuniform waveguide profile. For small angles, the characteristics remain invariable, the waveguide profile differs only slightly from the regular shape, and can be fit to limited waveguide-channel sizes.
