Abstract

A new flexible antenna system has been designed for TEXTOR which can be operated in the "conjugated T" mode. This mode of operation foreseen for the new JET-EP antenna is characterised by its insensitivity to the variations of the antenna plasma loading resistance. By optimising the "conjugated T" mode, a VSWR at the generator lower than 1.1 can be maintained for an antenna distributed loading resistance varying between 2.5 and 9.5 Ohm/m (or <1.5 between 0.8 and 16 Ohm/m).
