Abstract :
Heating and Current Drive systems are of outstanding relevance in fusion plasmas, magnetically confined in tokamak devices, as they provide the tools to reach, sustain and control burning conditions. DEMO, and the future reactor will require higher frequency for ECH. Therefore, high power (≥1MW) RF sources with output frequency in the 200 - 300 GHz range would be necessary.
