Phased array imaging of two dimensional Doppler microwave backscattering from spherical tokamak edge plasmas

Doppler backscattering (DBS) in 1D is an established and powerful fusion plasma diagnostic technique. In this thesis we explore the capability of the novel Synthetic Aperture Microwave Imaging diagnostic (SAMI) in performing proof-of-principle 2D DBS experiments on the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak...
