|
Synthetic Aperture Microwave Imaging (SAMI)
|
Compact array of microwave receiving antennas. Two antennas can
be configured to launch microwaves for imaging reflectometry.
Measures EBW emission as a function of poloidal and toroidal
angle, allowing high radial resolution measurements of edge magnetic field
pitch. Also can be configured for imaging relectometry to measure edge plasma
flows.
