Abstract
Elliptic deformation of oversized, smooth-wall circular waveguide can produce arbitrary elliptical or circular polarization from a linearly polarized TE11 or TM11 mode, used as intermediates between TE01 and HE11 in electron cyclotron heating (ECH) of magnetically confined thermonuclear fusion plasmas with high-power gyrotrons. Mode coupling in overmoded elliptically distorted circular waveguide has been studied theoretically and experimentally in order to optimize TE11 (and TM11) polarizers (I.D. = 27.79 mm) for use in the 1 MW/70 GHz ECH system on the Garching Stellarator W VII-AS. Accurate differential phase characteristics and very low levels of spurious modes have been achieved.
