For the upper electron cyclotron wave launcher on the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER), the use of a 'remote steering antenna' based on the imaging properties of square waveguides is planned. To characterize launchers of this type, low-power experiments on a four-side corrugated square waveguide, with a scanning mirror at the input of the waveguide, were performed in the frequency range 140–160 GHz.It is shown that elliptical polarization, which is necessary for the electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD), can be transmitted without depolarization and that the usable steering range of the antenna is at least 20°.Low-power measurements demonstrate that mitre bends can be integrated into the waveguide, practically without extra loss. Detailed calorimetric measurements for this set-up confirm this statement for the polarization perpendicular to the scanning plane, whereas excess loss is measured for the parallel polarization. Various modifications of mitre bends are investigated and results are discussed.

国際熱核融合実験炉(ITER)における上部電子サイクロトロン波ランチャーには、方形導波管の結像特性に基づく「リモートステアリングアンテナ」の使用が計画されている。この種のランチャーの特性評価のため、導波管入力部に走査ミラーを備えた四辺コルゲート方形導波管を用いた低出力実験を、140~160 GHzの周波数範囲で実施した。電子サイクロトロン電流駆動(ECCD)に必要な楕円偏波が、偏波の劣化なしに伝送可能であり、アンテナの有効走査範囲が少なくとも20°であることが示された。低出力測定により、マイター曲がりを導波管に組み込んでも、実質的な追加損失が生じないことが実証された。この構成に対する詳細な熱量測定により、走査面に垂直な偏波についてはこの結果が裏付けられたが、走査面に平行な偏波については過剰損失が測定された。種々のマイター曲がりの変形について調査し、その結果について考察する。
