摘要：

We have built a millimeter wave polarimeter which measures wave polarization parameters: the polarization angle, and the ellipticity including field spin direction in an evacuated high-power system. The polarimeter was applied to diagnose the 1 MW level electron-cyclotron plasma heating system at 110 GHz for the DIII-D tokamak. We have observed the time-dependent behavior of the gyrotrons and have characterized and calibrated the high-power transmission system which consists of grooved mirror polarizers, miter bends, switches, and corrugated wave guides. This article describes the principle of operation and the design method of the polarimeter and the examples of measurements. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0034-6748(99)00104-5].
