Ion Thruster Plasma Generators 169 plasmas with good uniformity using microwave excitation due to the strong magnetic fields that confine the plasma and influence the profile. This leads to other magnetic configurations to produce the plasma using microwave ECR techniques. In a volume-ionization ECR source, like that shown in Fig. 4-36, a significant fraction of the discharge chamber must be filled with a strong magnetic field to satisfy the resonance condition. If this field is produced by a solenoid, the electrical power required to achieve a sufficient field strength can represent a significant energy cost to the thruster. Likewise, if the field is produced by permanent magnets, the weight of the magnetic material required to produce this field can represent a significant weight penalty for the thruster. This problem can be mitigated by using magnetic multipole boundaries that produce strong magnetic fields at the discharge chamber wall using ring or line-cusp magnet configurations. Figure 4-38 shows the field lines between two magnet rings and the regions of strong magnetic field close to the magnet where the resonant condition is satisfied. Injection of the microwave radiation between the cusps, either by cutoff waveguides inserted between the rows [52], by slotted waveguides run along the rows [53], or by antenna structures placed between the rows, will couple the microwaves to the high magnetic field interaction region. While this geometry eliminates the solenoidal magnet coils and minimizes the size of the permanent magnets required to produce the resonant field strength, there are several issues remaining. First, the magnetic field strength in the cusp region decreases as one over the distance from the surface squared. This means that very strong magnets are required to produce the resonant field at any significant distance from the wall. Second, electrons that gain energy from the Resonance Zones e− Magnet Rows MM Fig. 4-38. Magnetic field lines and electron cyclotron resonant zone in a ring-cusp wall geometry. B-Field Lines e−
