AbstractAbstract
[en] Newly developed ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) antennas were fabricated and installed in the Large Helical Device (LHD). The antennas, called field-aligned-impedance-transforming (FAIT) antennas, were designed based on former handshake form (HAS) antennas for high power and steady-state operation. The FAIT antennas demonstrated higher loading resistance and lower temperature on ceramic feed-through than HAS antennas. Antenna impedance and injected power were measured precisely using a directional coupler installed between the impedance matching device and antenna. It was shown that an injection power of 1.8 MW or a power density of 15 MW/m"2 would be possible for short-pulse discharges. The mutual coupling between two FAIT antennas is small enough, since any current phase is possible without adjusting the impedance matching device. Although the FAIT antennas are aligned in a poloidal direction, a high heating efficiency of 85% was achieved with the proper minority concentration ratio.
