Abstract

This paper presents a compensation algorithm for magnetic measurements in presence of magnetic field plasma reflection. The algorithm has been employed for a very fast digital control system used in an European thermonuclear fusion experiment for plasma feedback stabilisation. The algorithm has been designed in order to estimate and compensate in real time, the reflected magnetic field for different plasma conditions
