Status of the ITER ICRF system design – ‘Externally Matched’ approach 150 150 UKAEA Opendata

The design of the ITER ICRF system has been under revision for several years. The paper presents the status of the design proposal based on a 24 strap antenna plug (6 poloidal by 4 toroidal short radiating conductors) in which the straps are passively combined in 8 poloidal triplets by means of 4-port junctions. These triplets are connected in parallel pairwise through matching elements to form 4 load-resilient conjugate-T circuits. All adjustable matching elements are located outside the plug, i.e. in the ITER port cell and in the generator area.
