Abstract: The talk overviews the ITER ICRF system and develops the design of the ITER ICRF antennas. The presentation illustrates the strategy that has been adopted to optimize the antenna power coupling within the operation frequency range (40-55 MHz). The presentation also develops the ongoing R&D and prototyping works for the antenna components (such as RF feedthroughs and their dedicated testbed, the 3D-printed radiating elements, etc.). Finally, the presentation discusses the high power operation capability of the ITER ICRF system under high Z wall.
Bio: Dr. Walid Helou is RF engineer at the ICRF Section of the ITER Organization. He will give an overview of the ITER ICRF system and latest antenna developments
