lh_antennas

Antenna systems for heating and current drive in the Lower Hybrid (LH) frequencies. In the definitions below, the front (or mouth) of the antenna refers to the plasma facing side of the antenna, while the back refers to the waveguides connected side of the antenna (towards the RF generators).
