The design of key components of the new ICRF antenna and the charac- ters of the new,.]~rototype ICRF antenna are presented. The thermo-mechanical analysis of both the Faraday shield and the current straps was conducted, and the stresses due to heat loads are studied in detail with different cooling-water velocities considered. In addition, the movability of prototype ICRF antenna under vacuum condition by the driving system was tested. An engineer- ing commissioning was successfully performed on the prototype ICRF antenna using the original transmitter. The results are close to the expected.展开更多
