Comparison of the folded stripline and stacked stripline concepts to the folded waveguide launcher

Description: Two new concepts are being developed as possible upgrades to the folded waveguide launcher. The folded stripline is a folded waveguide with an additional conductor positioned inside. The term stripline refers to the resemblance of the design to microwave microstrip line. The conductor provides support for TEM mode propagation, which eliminates cutoff and the nonlinear frequency dependence of the waveguide impedance and phase velocity. A natural extension to the folded stripline is the stacked s… more

Progress Towards High Performance, Steady-state Spherical Torus

Description: Research on the Spherical Torus (or Spherical Tokamak) is being pursued to explore the scientific benefits of modifying the field line structure from that in more moderate aspect-ratio devices, such as the conventional tokamak. The Spherical Tours (ST) experiments are being conducted in various U.S. research facilities including the MA-class National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) at Princeton, and three medium-size ST research facilities: Pegasus at University of Wisconsin, HIT-II at Univer… more

RF current drive antenna. Final report, August 15, 1993--August 14, 1995

Description: This work represents an attempt to solve a fundamental problem with all coupling devices in tokamaks intended to launch waves in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF), that of excessive voltage levels on the launcher and its feed lines. These voltages can lead to impurity problems in the plasma, and they determine the maximum power that can be coupled to the plasma, since it is when arcs caused by this voltage frequently occur that the power must be reduced. The approach taken is to con… more
