EAST 四条带ICRF 天线的三维电磁场分析

采用3 维电磁场代码CST MWS 对EAST 4 条带的离子回旋(ICRF)天线性能进行模拟研究，分析了天线的耦合阻抗随频率的变化，计算了电流和波谱的分布，模拟研究了不同电流相位对天线的电压击穿打火和引入杂质的影响。计算结果表明：此EAST 的ICRF 天线耦合阻抗和波谱总体设计合理；但天线局部电场较高，当环向电流条带为(0, 0, 0, 0)相位时E_max 为3.61MV•m⁻¹ 超出击穿阈值，经过结构尺寸的优化后E_max 低于阈值。同时表明天线运行时限制器处有较高的RF 电势，当电流相位为(0, π, π, 0)时法拉第屏前10mm 处的RF 电势是(0, 0, π, π)相位时的1/3。

Three dimensional electromagnetic analysis of the four strap ICRF antenna for EAST

The performance of the four strap ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) antenna in EAST was studied by three dimensional electromagnetic code CST MWS. The coupling impedance with various frequencies, the distribution of current on straps and the power spectra for the three types of phases were calculated. The voltage breakdown and ICRF-related impurity were also studied. Simulation results show that the coupling impedance and power spectrum of the antenna design were reasonable, however, highest electric field, which is 3.61MV•m⁻¹ for (0, 0, 0, 0) toroidal phasing at the local area, exceeds the empirical value of breakdown. After the structure size was optimized, the maximum of E-field was below the breakdown value, the results also show that the high radio frequency (RF) potential was close to the antenna limiter, the RF potential along total B-field in front of Faraday screens 10mm for (0, π, π, 0) phasing was one-third of that for (0, 0, π, π) phasing.
