摘要
WEST（钨环境稳态托卡马克，Tungsten-W Environment in Steady-state Tokamak）离子回旋共振加热天线的设计基于先前测试过的配备内部真空匹配电容的共轭-T 谐振双环原型。三个新 WEST ICRH 天线的设计与建造正与 ASIPP 紧密合作进行，属于 IRFM 与 ASIPP 之间聚变领域联合实验室的框架内。通过对整个天线引入水冷却，在增加连续波（CW）运行能力的同时，改善了对等离子体的耦合性能和负载容差。在发生器侧，将大功率四极管的运行类从 AB 改为 B，以允许在更高 VSWR（高达 2:1）下高功率运行（每天线高达 3 MW）。发生器的可靠性也通过提高腔体击穿电压得以改善。控制和数据采集系统也进行了升级，以便分辨并响应诸如 ELMs（边界局域模）的快速事件。新的光学弧检测系统作为对 V_r/V_f 和 SHAD 系统的补充。
