Simulation on the Temperature Properties of EAST Lower Hybrid Wave Antenna

A method for building the finite element model of the lower hybrid wave antenna was proposed according to the situation of the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) and its LHW antenna. Temperature properties of 2.45GHz lower hybrid wave antenna on EAST are investigated. The temperature distribution of antenna is performed using the finite element code. The influences of some parameters on the temperature of the antenna are studied and discussed. The simulated results lay the solid foundation for design and improvement for the lower hybrid wave antenna.
