Recent Results on Coupling Fast Waves to High Performance Plasmas on DIII-D

Fast Waves (FWs) at 60 MHz and 90 MHz are used in DIII‐D for central electron heating and current drive. Coupling of FWs to high‐performance discharges is limited by low antenna loading in these regimes. To extend the application of high‐power FWs to such regimes, methods of increasing the antenna l...
