To design a new ion cyclotron range of frequencies （ICRF） antenna in LHD, calculation for a simple antenna model is conducted using three-dimensional electrical magnetic code （high frequency structure simulator, HFSS） for an water loading as an imaginary plasma with low heating efficiency. At resonant frequencies, antenna loading is sensitive to strap width, and resonant frequencies are strongly related to strap height. There is no differences of RF current profile on the strap surface between resonant frequency and non-resonant frequency. The strap should be perpendicularly placed against the magnetic field line, since Faraday-shield angle will lead to a decrease in the effective antenna height.展开更多

The locations of resonance layers for these heating schemes are predicted and the simulations for different schemes in ICRF experiments in EAST, for example, ion heating （both fundamental and harmonic frequency） or electron heating （by direct fast waves or by mode conversion waves）, on-axis or off-axis heating, and high- field-side （HFS） launching or low-field-side （LFS） launching, etc, were conducted. For the on-axis minority ion heating of 3He in D（3He） plasma, the impacts of both density and temperature on heating were discussed in the EAST parameter ranges.展开更多
