Description

The coupling of an ICRF antenna to the plasma in the Tokamak is investigated by employing a slab geometry model combining with a 3-D antenna model. The power spectra and the coupling resistance of the antenna are obtained by numerically resolving the fast magnetosonic waves equations on the condition that fast magnetosonic waves are absorbed completely in the plasma. It shows that great differences exist in the radiation power of different spectra, and that the coupling efficiency of antenna is determined by its mechanism and the parameters of the plasma.
