Design and Development Activities for In-Vessel and In-Port Components of ITER Microwave Diagnostics

The ITER tokamak will be operating with 5 microwave diagnostic systems. While they rely on different physics, they share a common need: transmitting low and high power microwave in the range of 12 GHz to 1000 GHz(different bandwidths for different diagnostics) between the plasma and a diagnostic area tens of meters away. The designs proposed for vacuum windows, in-vessel waveguides and antennas are presented together with the development activities needed to finalise this work.
