В работе представлены результаты первых испытаний системы высокочастотного ионно-циклотронного нагрева плазмы токамака КТМ на эквивалент плазменной нагрузки. Проведены измерения режимов работы ВЧгенератора и антенно-фидерного тракта в условиях, приближенных к работе на плазму. Выполнена настройка и согласование цепей генератора с нагрузкой, исследованы параметры генерации и условия устойчивой передачи ВЧ-мощности в нагрузку. Определены режимы устойчивой работы системы и условия, обеспечивающие стабильную генерацию ВЧ-излучения. Результаты испытаний подтверждают работоспособность основных элементов системы ВЧ-нагрева и возможность дальнейшего проведения испытаний на плазму токамака КТМ.

This paper presents the results of the first experimental tests of the ion cyclotron radio-frequency (RF) plasma heating system of the KTM tokamak with an equivalent plasma load. Measurements of the operating parameters of the RF generator and the antenna-feeder system were carried out under conditions approximating plasma operation. The generator circuits were tuned and matched to the load, and the generation characteristics as well as the conditions for stable RF power transmission to the load were investigated. Stable operating regimes of the system and the conditions ensuring stable RF power generation were determined. The test results confirm the functionality of the main components of the RF heating system and demonstrate the possibility of further testing with plasma in the KTM tokamak.
