Plasma density profile measurement during ELM suppression by RMP

  • 1. National Fusion Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

KSTAR plasma density profile is measured by using a frequency sweep reflectometer. The time resolution of KSTAR reflectometer is 25 μs. To obtain more precise density profile, the frequency sweep is perfectly linearized by modeling the VCO input circuit as an RC low pass filter and numerically solving the equation. Since the perfect linear frequency sweep makes the signal shape much simpler, the automatic data analysis becomes more feasible. The frequency linearization method is described in detail and the plasma density profiles measured during ELM suppression and mitigation by RMP are presented. (author)
