High-Power Testing of Guided-Wave Components for the ITER ECH Upper Launcher at the FALCON Test Facility

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Matteo Vagnoni

Each of the four ITER electron cyclotron heating (ECH) upper launchers (ULs) features eight transmission lines (TLs) made of guided-wave components used to inject 170-GHz microwave power into the plasma at a level of up to 1.31 MW per line, at the TL diamo ...
