Abstract

The ATF (advanced toroidal facility) electron cyclotron heating (ECH) system (under construction as of this report) consists of two 53. 2-GHz, 200-kW continuous-wave gyrotrons with a mode-controlled waveguide system and polarized launcher optimized for maximum power in the ATF plasma. Several components, such as a waveguide mode-analyzing directional coupler, a TiO//2 mode absorber, miter bends, and a polarization-selectable beamed launcher, have been developed and tested. Laboratory results and the initial high-power operation of the system are discussed.
