Design and development of ECRH launcher system on HL-3 tokamak

Abstract: [Background]: Electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) is an important heating and plasma current control method for the HL-3 tokamak. Microwave inject into plasma through the launcher, which is an important part of the ECRH system. [Purpose]: Design and test the ECRH launcher system of the HL-3 tokamak. [Methods]: Design the transmission path and structure of the launcher. Simulate and calculate the effect of microwave injection. Test the transmission angle and rotation speed of the launcher, and calibrate the rotation angle of the launcher. [Results]: The optical path design of the No. 2 upper launcher has been completed. The full range response time of the equatorial launcher is less than 90ms; The full range response time of the No. 1 upper launcher is less than 190ms. [Conclusions]: The optical path design of the No. 2 upper launcher meets the requirements. The control of the equatorial launcher and the No. 1 upper launcher is precise and fast, meeting the requirements for experimental use of the tokamak.
