Short Description¶
Multi-channel Doppler back-scattering (DBS) diagnostic analysis
Long Description¶
The OMFIT - DBS module provides an integrated approach to analyzing data from the UCLA multi-channel Doppler back-scattering (DBS) diagnostics installed on the DIII-D and MAST(U) tokamaks. Data from both DIII-D V-band systems (one at the 60-deg port, another at the 240-port) along with legacy systems (e.g. W-band, ‘DBS5’) are available for analysis. On MAST(U) we support data from both V-band and Q-band systems. Analysis is generally performed over multiple times slices (usually order ~ 10) which are 20-200 ms (typical) in length. Labor-intensive frequency-domain analysis (fitting Doppler-shifted spectral components) is possible with the DBS_SPECTROGRAM_GUI. Ray tracing (using GENRAY) is used to calculate scattering parameters. We also support 3D beam-tracing with the SCOTTY and TORBEAM codes. DBS outputs include: probed radial locations, probed wavenumbers wavenumbers, flow velocity of turbulent structures, radial electric field, omega_E.
