본 논문에서는 KSTAR의 ECEI(Electron Cyclotron Emission Imaging) 장치에 사용되는 100 GHz 미니렌즈의 성능을 향상하기 위해 변형된 타원형 렌즈 안테나 설계를 제안하고 있다. 기존 타원형 렌즈 구조의 밑면에 반구형 렌즈를 추가하고, 이 반구형 렌즈의 끝점에 100 GHz CPS 다이폴 안테나를 위치하게 하였다. 기하광학적 설계를 통해 안테나에서 방사된 전자파가 반구형 렌즈의 표면에서 전반사가 일어나도록 함으로써 안테나 패턴이 주빔 방향으로 집속되는 효과를 나타나게 하였다. 이 설계의 유효성은 3차원 EM 시뮬레이터로서 확인하였다. 제안된 반구형렌즈가 추가된 타원형 렌즈의 안테나 이득은 23.8 dB인데, 기존의 타원형 렌즈에 비해 2.2 dB 향상되었으며, 사이드 로브 레벨은 E-plane과 H-plane에서 2.6 dB, 3.4 dB 감소하였음을 확인하였다.

A planar, light-weight, and low-cost notch filter structure is required for the KSTAR ECEI (Electron Cyclotron Emission Imaging) system to protect the mixer arrays from spurious plasma heating power. Without protection, this heating power can significantly degrade or damage the performance of the mixer array. To protect mixer arrays, a frequency selective surface (FSS) structure is the suitable choice as a notch filter to reject the spurious heating power. The FSS notch filter should be located between the lenses of the ECEI system. This paper presents a 170 GHz FSS notch filter for the KSTAR ECEI sensor application. The design of such an FSS notch filter is based on the single-sided square loop geometry, because that makes it relatively insensitive to the incident angle of incoming wave. The FSS notch filter exhibits high notch rejection with low pass-band insertion loss over a wide range of incident angles. This paper also reviews the simulated and measured results. The proposed FSS notch filter might be implemented in other millimeter-wave plasma devices.

The RF integrated noise filters are fabricated by photolithography. The stack for the electromagnetic noise filters consists of the nano-granular ($Co_{41}Fe_{38}AI_{13}O_8$) soft magnetic film / $SiO_2$ / Cu transmission line / seed layer (Cu/Ti) / $SiO_2$-substrate. A good signal-attenuation feature along with a low signal-reflection feature is observed in the present filters. Especially in the noise filter incorporated with a $Co_{41}Fe_{38}AI_{13}O_8$ magnetic film with lateral dimensions of $2000{\mu}m$ wide, 15 mm long and $1{\mu}m$ thick, the maximum magnitude of signal attenuation reaches -55 dB, and the magnitude of signal reflection is below -10 dB in the overall frequency range. And this level of signal attenuation is much larger than that of a noise filter incorporated with a Fe magnetic film.
