Abstract

The lower hybrid (LH) system is part of an overall heating and current drive system for TPX. The LH system is required to provide off-axis current profile control, efficient bulk current drive at low plasma temperatures, and electron heating. The device and facility will provide 4 MW of generated LH/LHCD power with 3 MW of power to the plasma at 3.7 GHz through one horizontal port. This paper will describe the RF generator system that supplies RF power to the launcher. The LH launcher is described separately in a paper by Paul Goranson of ORNL
