Study of a 105 GHz short-pulse dummy load for the electron cyclotron resonance heating system with the quasi-optical method

The accurate power measurement is important for an ECRH system in tokamak. The dummy load is designed and developed for the measurement of the millimeter wave power. This work analyzes the dummy load based on the quasi-optical method and the ray tracing method. The reflectivity and thermal deposition of the dummy load have been considered to ensure the safety of the entire system. High-power tests have been carried out at a 105 GHz/500 kW ECRH system. The results of the tests indicate that the designed dummy load is stable and valid.
