WEST ICRH Antenna Electrical Model

This code is a numerical model of the WEST Ion Cyclotron Resonance Antenna. The code builds the electrical circuit of an antenna, connecting the different parts of the antenna separately full-wave calculated. The front-face of the antenna, evaluated using bespoke antenna code or full-wave software, is given as an input. The antenna tuning capacitors can be automatically optimized for a given frequency. The voltages and currents at the capacitors can be evaluated for a given antenna excitation (power and phase).
