At the tokamak ASDEX Upgrade, experiments to stabilize neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) by electron cyclotron (EC) heating and current drive in the O-points of the magnetic islands were performed. For the first time, injection into the O-points of the revolving islands was performed via a fast directional switch, which toggled the EC power between two launchers synchronously to the island rotation. The switching was performed by a resonant diplexer employing a sharp resonance in the transfer function, and a small frequency modulation of the feeding gyrotron around the slope of the resonance. Thus, toggling of the power between the two outputs of the diplexer connected to two articulating launchers was possible. Phasing and control of the modulation were performed via a set of Mirnov coils and appropriate signal processing. In the paper, technological issues, the design of the diplexer, the tracking of the diplexer resonance to the gyrotron frequency, the generation and processing of control signals for the gyrotron, and the typical performance concerning switching contrast and efficiency are discussed. The plasma scenario is described, and plasma experiments are presented, where the launchers scanned the region of the resonant surface continuously and also where the launchers were at a fixed position near to the q  =  1.5-surface. In the second case, complete stabilization of a 3/2 NTM could be reached. These experiments are also seen as a technical demonstration for the applicability of diplexers in large-scale ECRH systems.

トカマクASDEX Upgradeにおいて、磁気島のO点における電子サイクロトロン(EC)加熱および電流駆動による新古典テアリングモード(NTM)の安定化実験が実施された。初めて、回転する磁気島のO点への入射が、高速方向性スイッチを介して行われた。このスイッチは、ECパワーを2つのランチャー間で磁気島の回転に同期して切り替えるものである。この切り替えは、伝達関数における鋭い共振を利用した共振ダイプレクサと、共振の傾斜周辺における供給ジャイロトロンの小さな周波数変調によって行われた。これにより、2つの可動ランチャーに接続されたダイプレクサの2つの出力間でのパワーの切り替えが可能となった。変調の位相調整と制御は、一連のミルノフコイルと適切な信号処理を介して行われた。本論文では、技術的課題、ダイプレクサの設計、ジャイロトロン周波数へのダイプレクサ共振の追従、ジャイロトロン用制御信号の生成と処理、ならびに切り替えコントラストと効率に関する典型的な性能について議論する。プラズマシナリオを説明し、ランチャーが共鳴面の領域を連続的に走査した場合と、ランチャーがq = 1.5面の近くの固定位置にあった場合のプラズマ実験を提示する。2番目の場合、3/2 NTMの完全な安定化が達成された。これらの実験は、大規模ECRHシステムにおけるダイプレクサの適用可能性に関する技術的実証とも見なされる。
