摘要：

The use of mixed(monopole-dipole)-phasing of a set of ion cyclotron range of frequency antennas is potentially useful to optimize tokamak performance. However, recent mixed-phasing experiments on JET, described here, showed undesirable antenna-plasma interactions under certain circumstances. A possible physical mechanism to explain the experimental results is discussed, namely, rf-driven dc parallel currents flowing between adjacent antennas with different phasings can lead to arcing on the antenna with the largest sheath voltage. Means of controlling the interaction are discussed.
