Coherent optical beam formation is a new wideband radio frequency beam-forming technology, which is based on optical interference, diffraction principle and optical Fourier transformation.

Using a directive beam antenna and the Highband Networking Waveform (HNW), the radio can automatically create the entire network using a single frequency.

The high plasma current allowed in a RFP is expected to be sufficient to heat the plasma to ignition without the need of auxiliary neutral-beam or radio-frequency heating.
