  • Abstract
    ITER will be equipped with four EC (Electron Cyclotron) upper launchers of 8 MW microwave power each with the aim to counteract plasma instabilities during operation. The launcher antennas will be installed into four upper ports of the ITER vacuum vessel. All in-vessel microwave components of an EC antenna, comprising several sets of mirrors and waveguides are mounted into so-called upper port plugs. These are basically hollow casks which fit into the ports as cantilevered built-in components, forming thus integrated systems which guarantee optimum performance and simplify assembly and maintenance.
