Abstract

It is proposed to provide the Electron Cyclotron Emission (ECE) feedback signal for MHD control experiments along the ECRH line-of sight. Experiments on TEXTOR have demonstrated a proof of principle motivate the further development and the implementation of such an ECCD aligned ECE system for NTM control in larger fusion machines. Implementation of such a system on ASDEX-Upgrade, based on waveguides equipped with a fast directional switch, is presented in this paper. First results of open loop control of MHD modes in TEXTOR were presented in.
