Abstract :
In this article, we summarize the joint modeling of an anisotropic and inhomogeneous plasma medium, excited by an antenna formed by a waveguides array placed very close to the medium, these modeling are made to simulate the transfer of electromagnetic energy used for generating the power needed for tokamak configuration. To validate our model designed through CST Microwave Software, we compare our results with those found by the ALOHA code which is developed by the CEA (Atomic Energy Commission) serving to simulate not limited plasma medium.
