  • Publication number: 20240030613
    Abstract: Disclosed is a Tokamak outer antenna, comprising feed waveguides, brims, sub-waveguides and a metal base. The metal base is in a W shape, both ends of the metal base are connected to the lower surfaces of feed waveguides, respectively. Opposite sides of two feed waveguides are connected to the brims, respectively, and a plurality of sub-waveguides are arranged on the upper surface of the metal base at equal intervals. The height of each sub-waveguide is not higher than the height of the feed waveguide, one feed waveguide serves as a microwave input port, and the other feed waveguide serves as a microwave output port. The Tokamak outer antenna disclosed by the present disclosure is a novel antenna which is simple in feed, low in reflection and transmission coefficients and high in directivity.

  • Publication number: 20240030616
    Abstract: Disclosed is a top surface wave antenna of a spherical Tokamak, comprising a feedback waveguide, a brim, sub-waveguides, and a metal base. The lower end of the feed waveguide is connected to one end of the metal base, and one side of the feed waveguide is connected to the brim. The brim is towards a length direction of the metal base. A plurality of sub-waveguides are arranged on the metal base at equal intervals, the tops of the sub-waveguides are not higher than the height of the metal base, and the sub-waveguides are arranged in a rising line trend. The feed waveguide serves as a microwave input port. The top surface wave antenna of the spherical Tokamak is mainly used in a high-power Tokamak system and acts on the low-hybrid wave current driving together with an external antenna so as to obtain a better effect.

  • Publication number: 20240012647
    Abstract: Disclosed are a solid-state microwave source and a branch consistency control method thereof. The branch consistency control method includes: collecting phase information of each branch unit under each of a plurality of preset target powers, and performing phase adjustment for each branch unit based on the phase information under each of the target powers; assembling coarsely-adjusted N branch units, a driver module, a power distribution module, a radial combiner, a circulator, and a waveguide coupler; adjusting a branch power by using the driver module and the power distribution module, to collect the phase information of each branch unit under each of the target powers; and when the phase information of each branch unit under each of the target powers meets a preset condition, performing phase adjustment for the branch unit based on the phase information.

  • Patent number: 11849528
    Abstract: Disclosed are an impedance matching apparatus and method for a solid-state microwave source. The impedance matching apparatus is connected to a solid-state microwave source and includes a detection module and a control module. The control module includes a frequency control unit and a power determining unit. The frequency control unit is configured to adjust a current frequency of a phase-locked source of the solid-state microwave source according to a received frequency modulation (FM) instruction. The power determining unit is configured to perform following steps: controlling a driver module of the solid-state microwave source to gradually increase a total incident power, and determining a change trend of a total reflected power of the solid-state microwave source; controlling the driver module to reduce the incident power; setting the FM instruction, and sending the set FM instruction to the frequency control unit.
