Abstract

A mode conversion miter bend with an angle controllable mirror was developed. By changing the mirror angle, the RF beam angle in the miter bend is controlled and the transmission mode contents (LP01 and LP11 modes) are controlled. The miter bend was tested using a 170 GHz milliwatt-class low power RF system. The dependence of the ratio of operating LP01 mode and higher order LP11 mode on the miter bend mirror angle was acquired. The concept of mode conversion system was validated.

Controllability Study of Propagating Mode Content by an Angle-Adjustable Mirror of a Miter-Bend in EC H&CD Transmission Line

Journal Article Oda, Yasuhisa ; Ikeda, Ryosuke ; Fukunari, Masafumi ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science

A miter-bend-type mode converter, which has an angle-adjustable mirror, is proposed to control the transmission mode content in the electron cyclotron heating and current drive transmission line. This component excites the higher order mode by injecting a tilted radio frequency beam into a waveguide using the angle-adjustable mirror. A mock-up model of the converter was developed to evaluate the principle of the mode conversion.The experimental result of the mock-up representing the ratio of LP₀₁ mode and LP₁₁ mode was successfully controlled by 10% as the theoretical prediction.

Mode Conversion Losses in Expansion Units for ITER ECH Transmission Lines

Dataset Schaub, S. C. ; Shapiro, M. A. ; Temkin, R. J. ; ...

The ITER electron cyclotron heating transmission lines will consist of 63.5 mm diameter corrugated waveguides, each carrying 1 MW of 170 GHz microwaves. These transmission lines must include expansion units to accommodate expansion and contraction along the path from the gyrotron microwave sources to the tokamak. A numerical mode matching code has been developed to calculate power losses due to mode conversion of the operating mode, HE11, to higher order modes as a result of the radial discontinuities in a sliding joint. Two expansion unit designs were evaluated, a simple gap expansion unit and a more complex tapered expansion unit.more »« less
A study of the waveguide mode excitation and propagation in a parallel plate transmission line. Final report

Technical Report Crow, T T ; Wu, K Y ; Taylor, C D

A study of the waveguide mode excitation and propagation is made for a parallel plate waveguide. Since this configuration is used in the simulation of the nuclear electromagnetic pulse, results appropriate for various simulators are obtained and discussed. The analysis assumes infinitely wide plates, but the question of finite width plates is addressed.
Measurement of RF Mode Purity in EC Transmission Test Line for ITER

Journal Article Oda, Yasuhisa ; Kajiwara, Ken ; Takahashi, Koji ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The transmission mode purity was measured at the ITER relevant transmission line for 170 GHz ECH and CD system. The measured purity of HE{sub 11} in transmission power was 73% and the other was higher order modes. The dominant higher order mode was LP{sub 11} mode (HE{sub 21}+TE{sub 01}). To improve the mode purity, the RF beam coupling in MOU was aligned because LP{sub 11} mode is generated the offset and the tilt angle of RF beam at the waveguide inlet. After the alignment, HE{sub 11} mode purity was increased to 87%.
