Electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) system is one of the auxiliary heating mix for China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR), which is the proposed next-generation fusion facility in China. The ECRH system will deliver 30 MW of RF power into the plasma at the frequency of 170GHz, the front steering launcher (FSL) is selected as for example to investigate the feasibility with...
Electron cyclotron heating (ECH) technology is advancing to meet demands for higher power (>1 MW) and longer pulse lengths (~3600 s). New requirements from heating systems for ITER, the Wisconsin HTS Axisymmetric Mirror (WHAM) experiment, and future systems such as STEP and FPP are leading to more complex ECH designs. Although General Atomics (GA) iterates its designs based on prototyping and...
