A coupling model for the waves in ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) in tokamak plasmas is described. The simulation is performed based on the finite element method. A cold plasma dielectric tensor is used. A perfectly matched layer (PML) is applied to describe the ICRF wave single-pass absorption in the core plasma. The selection of PML characteristic parameters is optimized in a wide wave frequency range and validated for plane waves and ICRF waves. The dependencies of the coupling resistance on the plasma-antenna gap, average plasma density, and plasma profiles are given. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results.A coupling model for the waves in ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) in tokamak plasmas is described.
