The rf technology program at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is developing the components needed for heating in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) on future fusion machines, such as the Compact Ignition Tokamak. Components produced in this program are already in use on experiments throughout the world, including Doublet III-D (DIII-D), TMX-U, Alcator-C, and TEXTOR. Designs have been developed for implementation on Tore Supra and ASDEX. Recent developments in vacuum feedthroughs, compact loop antennas, high-current capacitors, and folded waveguides are discussed in this paper.
