Abstract
Simulation survey performed at TAE Technologies, has demonstrated that high harmonic fast wave (HHFW) heating is a promising scenario to heat core electrons of FRC plasma. To prepare the proposed experimental study of HHFW antenna-plasma coupling and wave propagation on LAPD machine at UCLA, a high-power-capable 4-strap antenna has been calculated and designed through collaboration among TAE, ORNL, ASIPP, and UCLA. This antenna was mechanically designed and fabricated by ASIPP and it has been installed recently on LAPD. Meanwhile, by using the Petra-M code, a newly developed generic electromagnetic simulation tool for modeling RF wave propagation, the RFSciDAC team starts 3D full wave simulations. Detailed information on antenna electromagnetic simulations and mechanical design, as well as preliminary experimental results of wave propagation study with the newly installed phased-array antenna, will be presented in this paper.
