Using the reflectometer systems, the density profile and the density fluctuations during magnetic perturbations （MPs） phase have been investigated. During the experiments, two different cases are studied separately： steady MPs and rotating MPs. In both cases, a strongly density pump-out has been observed. In the steady MPs cases, an enhancement of the low frequency （〈60 kHz） density fluctuations in H-mode phase has been observed. The plasma density boundary out-shifts 5~ caused by the MPs. The pedestal density gradient is reduced by 50%, while the radial location nearly stays unchanged. In the rotating MPs, the line-averaged density, the D~ emission at the divertor region and the spectrum of the density fluctuations are modulated. The results suggest that the low frequency （〈60 kHz） density fluctuations may contribute to the strong density pump-out.展开更多

文摘在先进实验超导托卡马克（experimental advanced superconducting Tokamak,EAST）装置上研制多道极向相关反射仪诊断,使系统可同时测量8（径向）×2（极向）个位置的电子密度涨落.该系统选用8个固定输出频率（12.5、13.5、14.5、15.0、15.5、16.0、17.0和18.0 GHz）的介质振荡器作为信号源,源输出的信号通过4倍频器倍频至V波段,通过多个3 d B定向耦合器耦合成一路,入射波通过一个20 d B定向耦合器分为2路,其中,主路微波通过一个角锥天线入射进入等离子体,副路微波作为参考信号.接收天线阵列由2个极向间隔为6 cm的角锥天线组成.参考信号和反射信号与频率为14.2 GHz的介质振荡器4倍频之后的输出信号进行混频,混频后的中频信号分别通过放大器、带通滤波器组件和同相正交解调器进行解调.通过该诊断系统,初步观察到了由低约束模式向高约束模式转换的现象,且在ELMfree阶段,台基梯度区域,出现了持续时间在毫秒量级、频率在40~50 k Hz的相干模.
