Abstract

The ICRH antenna for the stellarator Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) aims at delivering RF power levels up to about 1.5 MW in the frequency range 25–38 MHz with pulse lengths up to 10 s. The antenna was constructed and tested in the institute IEK-4 of the Research Centre Jülich, and subsequently installed at W7-X. The paper will review the physics design, the construction and installation in W7-X, and the commissioning plans for the ICRH system in the coming months.
