The optical system and the transmission line of the ECE diagnostic were designed to allow the calibration to be performed outside the vacuum vessel keeping the arrangement of the diagnostic.
The optical system and the transmission line of the ECE diagnostic were designed to allow the calibration to be performed outside the vacuum vessel keeping the arrangement of the diagnostic.
To calibrate, the transmission line is opened close to the diagnostic port (C5-bottom). Then the port flange, which holds the optical system and the wave-guide up to that point, is extracted from the torus and assembled with the same alignment outside the vacuum vessel.

The local radiation temperature is assumed to be a function only of the local electron temperature at the resonant layer; however, if the plasma is not Maxwellian or if the plasma is optically thin, the measured radiation temperature is no longer equal to the electron temperature.
