A set of simulation/interpretation tools based on transmission line theory and on the RF model developed by M. Vrancken [2] has been developed to study the ITER-like Antenna (ILA) at JET. For given tuning element settings, the unique solution of the equations governing the ILA circuit requires solving a system of coupled linear equations relating t…
Using the JET A2 ICRF antennas [1], experiments were carried out to assess the performance of three different dipole phasing configurations relevant for the operation of the ICRF antenna in ITER. Three similar discharges with dipole, "symmetric dipole" and "super dipole" phasings were compared. In the "super dipole" case, higher coupling was confir…
