摘要

A microwave imaging reflectometry system has been developed to visualize the density fluctuations on the HL-2A tokamak. This system is characterized by a quasi-optical system, a four frequency microwave transmitter, and a microwave quadrature receiver system with a 3D adjustable U-shaped horn antenna array, that generate 8 (poloidal) x 4 (radial) x 2 (toroidal) = 64 channel images of density fluctuations. Simulations and laboratory tests of the optical system have been conducted. The test results are in good agreement with the simulations.
