Abstract A mode converter design using the concept of periodic substrates loading in a circular waveguide, to convert TM01 mode to TE11 mode is presented in this paper. The detailed design principle, simulation, and measurement results are included in this study. Simulation results show that the purity of output fundamental TE11 mode of the converter approaches 99.2% for an operating frequency of 3.2 GHz. The mode conversion efficiency is more than 90% over 3.07–3.25 GHz band and the relative bandwidth is 5.6% (180 MHz). The proposed TM01–TE11 mode converter has advantages, such as the compact, lightweight structure, high conversion efficiency, and proper bandwidth. The fabrication cost is relatively low and the structure is easy to fabricate. The power-handling capability is limited to 10 MW due to dielectric-based design. The compactness and portability of the system (e.g. Space applications, Accelerators, High Power Microwave) can be improved significantly using the proposed mode converter.

The wave physics of O-X conversion in overdense W7-X plasma is discussed. For this study, a new 3D, cold plasma full-wave code has been developed. The code takes advantage of massive parallel computations with Graphics Processing Units (GPU), which allows for up to 100 times faster calculations than on a single-CPU. A 3D calculation of the O-X conversion is demonstrated. We discuss limitations of the mode conversion scenario within the capabilities of the existing ECRH system in W7-X, and demonstrate an optimised conversion scenario in which the launching antenna location is altered. The conversion efficiency of the optimised scenario is predicted to be >85%.
