Real-time steerable frequency-stepped Doppler Backscattering (DBS) System for local helicon wave electric field measurements on the DIII-D tokamak

S. Chowdhury, N. A. Crocker, W. A. Peebles +11

A new frequency-stepped Doppler backscattering (DBS) system has been integrated with a real-time steerable electron cyclotron heating launcher to probe local background turbulence…

Validating and optimising mismatch tolerance of Doppler backscattering measurements with the beam model

Valerian H. Hall-Chen, Julius Damba, Felix I. Parra +11

We use the beam model of Doppler backscattering (DBS), which was previously derived from beam tracing and the reciprocity theorem, to shed light on mismatch attenuation. This atten…

The deteriorating effect of plasma density fluctuations on microwave beam quality

Alf Köhn, Max E. Austin, Michael W. Brookman +13

Turbulent plasma edge density fluctuations can broaden a traversing microwave beam degrading its quality. This can be a problem for scenarios relying on a high spatial localization…

Resolving ECRH deposition broadening due to edge turbulence in DIII-D by heat deposition measurement

Michael W Brookman, Matthew B Thomas, Jarrod Leddy +7

Interaction between microwave power, used for local heating and mode control, and density fluctuations can produce a broadening of the injected beam, as confirmed in experiment and…

Resolving ECRH deposition broadening due to edge turbulence in DIII-D by 3D full-wave simulations

Matthew B Thomas, Michael W Brookman, Max E Austin +5

Edge plasma density fluctuations are shown to have a significant effect on the electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) beam in the DIII-D tokamak. Experimental measurements of…
