Description

Within the frame of this activity we have investigated the multipactor effect when dielectric and ferrite materials are present in a component.

To do so, specific designs have been implemented in order to evaluate the breakdown power level. In addition to that, simulations have been performed in order to determine the ability of numerical techniques to predict the multipactor breakdown levels in such type of components. This has been done in a large bandwidth in order to be able to generate multipactor susceptibility charts of the different dielectric materials investigated (six in total).
