摘要：

This paper presents the development, fabrication, and implementation of a state-of-the-art helical long-wire traveling wave antenna (LW-TWA) for the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) helicon wave current drive (HCD). A multi-stage design approach has been employed incorporating schematic and simplified radio frequency (RF) modeling, to fulfill critical antenna performance criteria, such as parallel refractive index, while maintaining low electric field properties and load resilience. The advanced design includes a Faraday shield and a structurally rigid support for mechanical stability and minimal RF performance distortion. The sophisticated design and megawatt (MW)-class RF power handling capability of the LW-TWA hold the potential to improve HCD performance in KSTAR plasma.
