FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION FOR THE HIGH-FREQUENCY MAGNETIC DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM IN ITER-II: DETAILED OVERVIEW OF THE ANALYSIS METHOD AND OF THE TEST CALCULATIONS

摘要

The measurement performance of the baseline system design for the ITER high-frequency magnetic diagnostic system and attempts at its optimization have been performed using an innovative method based on the sparse representation of signals and the minimization of the maxima of the spectral window for integer mode numbers. This analysis has led to the conclusion that 350 to 500 sensors are in fact needed to satisfy the ITER requirements for the measurement performance and the risk management over the machine lifetime, instead of the originallyrnforeseen approximately 170 sensors. In the companion paper we have presented the general summary results of our work; here we present a more complete overview of the analysis method and further details of our test calculations.
