  2. r0 z0 z Microwave Phase Tomography Phase shift due to inhomogeneities in plasma: r

  3. TRANSMITTERS H Conventional tomography RESOLUTION >150 mm H=5 m =5 mm RECEIVERS

  4. Features of the conventional phase tomography: • RESOLUTION : >150 mm, when CAMERA HEIGHT is H~5m and wavelength is ~5 mm. • 2. High sensitivity to the amplitude fluctuations, which are inevitable due to plasma inhomogeneities.

  5. Plasma Tomography of higher resolution (Tinin,Kravtsov, Radio Sci., 2000) (wavelength) Quadratic phase correction warants focusing and highly improves resolution upto a wavelength (5 mm instead of >150 mm under conventional tomography)

  6. Determining electron density Ne on the basis of Tinin method Doubly weighted Fourier transform Quadratic term, responsible for focusing Linear term responsible for Fourier transform => Ne (r)

  7. Features of diffraction tomography byTinin • Strong amplitude fluctuation are now admissible 2. Higher resolution: δ~λH/D  λ when D  H. At H=5 m, λ=5 mm : δ λ=5 mm, Such resolution is sufficient for revealing peremeters of small-scale turbulence

  8. Problems to solve: 1. To choose the optimal frequency (not too high, not too low). 2 Non-plane geometry of the camera and regular ihomogeneityof the electron density profile: tomographic algorithm, accounting both this factors is to be developed.

  9. 3. One can foresee comparatively low rate of the traditional „successive” tomographic procedure: when dealing with a matrix of 100x100 or 50x50 transmitters and receivers, supplied with phasemeters, it is necessary to do 10,000 or 2,500 phase measurements, so that parameters of the small-scale plasma turbulence may change. One of the methods to process with higher rate is to apply the „parallel” tomographic procedure, using different frequency for every pair of transmitter and receiver.
