| Popis: | Off-axis current drive is necessary for Tokamak to maintain and regulate the current profile. Helicon wave is the high order harmonic fast wave and helicon wave current drive (HCD) is one of the key issues in the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR). The theory of HCD is briefly introduced and the simulation results are listed. Helicon waves can realize off-axis current drive under CFETR plasma parameters when the frequency is greater than 1 GHz and drive current is insensitive to the launched value of the parallel index of refraction n||, so wave accessibility issues can be reduced. Travelling Wave Antenna was analyzed by the commercial software package-CST. Near the resonant frequency of the antenna, the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio |
