摘要：

Based on the one-dimensional analytical theory of radial correlation reflectometry (RCR), numerical models of RCR experiments have been built. Computations are carried out for O-mode at a simple linear plasma density profile under conditions relevant to experiments. The turbulence spectrum and cross correlation function reconstruction procedure is applied and its feasibility is demonstrated while the assumptions of the model are fulfilled. The limitations of the method are discussed. The numerical models of the RCR experiments, targeted at the reconstruction of the turbulence spectrum in tokamaks where the plasma density profile can be approximated by a linear density profile, are performed and show in most of the cases that the wave number spectra can be extracted. The RCR capabilities and dependences on the main experimental parameters are also studied.
