Abstract

A ka-band multi-channel Doppler reflectometer system was constructed for the Large Helical Device (LHD) using a comb frequency generator as a source. A filter bank system is utilized for precise quadrature phase detection, and preliminary back-scattered waves were obtained in LHD plasma experiments. In addition, a direct digital signal acquisition system was successfully demonstrated for providing a greater number of multi-channel measurements.
