High Frequency Analysis of Microwave Components for High Power RF Sources using Finite element analysis software

Abstract

Tokomaks are the fusion devices where plasma is produced and confined under magnetic confinement methods. A promising method of heating the plasma is carried out by the launching of high frequency microwaves. The RF power sources can be klystrons, gyrotrons and gyroklystron which include the leading edge technologies with an advanced engineering design. The simulation and analysis of various subsystems of gyrotron like cavity, super conducting coil, RF window, and so on are required for developing an efficient RF source. The project work includes the modeling and analysis of the subsystems using finite element methods with high frequency module of ANSYS software. The work includes a set of benchmarks problems for existing RF components and the latest RF sources that is developed in the country.

ANSYS is the software that has been keenly programmed with many sorts of problem in electromagnetic. ANSYS gives more accurate and better solution for the actual geometry in existence.
