title = "Study of the choice of the decoupling layout for the ITER ICRH system",
abstract = "10 decouplers are used to neutralize the mutual coupling effects and to control the current amplitude of the 24 straps array of the ITER ICRH antenna in the case of current drive phasing. In the case of heating phasing only 4 decouplers are active and the array current control needs to act on the ratio between the power delivered by the 4 generators. This ratio is very sensitive to the precise adjustment of the antenna array phasing. The maximum total radiated power capability is then limited when the power of one generator reaches its maximum value. With the addition of four switches all 10 installed decouplers are made active and can act on all mutual coupling effects with equal source power from the 4 generators. With four more switches the current drive phasing could work with a reduced poloidal phasing resulting in a 35% increase of its coupling to the plasma.",
