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. | To calibrate, the transmission line is opened close to the diagnostic port (C5-bottom).

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. | 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. |
