Analysis of the multipactor effect by means of the 3D BI-RME method

Multipactor effect is a well-known phenomenon of RF breakdown in satellite pay-loads which degrades components, generates undesirable harmonics, contributes to power dissipation and increases noise in communications. Traditionally, multipactor has been investigated with the aim of obtaining the so-called multipactor threshold voltage, or to present different multipaction detection methods. Little effort has been devoted, in contrast, to study the problem from a full-wave point of view, thus allowing for the analysis of more complex structures. The main goal of this work is to analyze the interaction between a multipactor current and a realistic microwave cavity by means of a rigorous and ac…
