Archivio Istituzionale della RicercaThe present work compares the results coming out from the following three Ion Cyclotron antenna tools: HFSS, COMSOL Multiphysics and the TOPICA code. A simplified flat antenna geometry, working at 30 MHz, is used as benchmark. The comparison is carried out with respect to the scattering matrix and the RF potentials, i.e., the line integrals of the electric field along the flux tubes of the equilibrium magnetic field. Various operational configurations characterized by different antenna load clearance are considered. Very good agreement can be observed among the codes for all the simulated configurations in terms of scattering parameters. RF potentials also match as regards to patterns, trends as well as absolute values.

Abstract
The present work compares the results coming out from the following three Ion Cyclotron antenna tools: HFSS, COMSOL Multiphysics and the TOPICA code. A simplified flat antenna geometry, working at 30 MHz, is used as benchmark. The comparison is carried out with respect to the scattering matrix and the RF potentials, i.e., the line integrals of the electric field along the flux tubes of the equilibrium magnetic field. Various operational configurations characterized by different antenna load clearance are considered. Very good agreement can be observed among the codes for all the simulated configurations in terms of scattering parameters. RF potentials also match as regards to patterns, trends as well as absolute values.
