Power Control and Data Acquisition System for High Power Microwave Test Bench
The 6 MW/4.6 GHz lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) system will be set up on the experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST) for achieving a steady-state op- eration. The high power and continuous wave (CW) mode microwave test bench operating at 250 kW/4.6 GHz has already been finished, whic...

Summary: | The 6 MW/4.6 GHz lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) system will be set up on the experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST) for achieving a steady-state op- eration. The high power and continuous wave (CW) mode microwave test bench operating at 250 kW/4.6 GHz has already been finished, which can be used to simulate different kinds of high power microwave environments to test microwave components and units for the new LHCD sys- tem. The power control and data acquisition system on the test bench composed of power control, high reflected power protection and data acquisition function is described here in detail. Long- term operation of the test bench showed that the power control and data acquisition system is very stable and reliable. |
