Study of the multipactor phenomenon using a full-wave integral equation technique
2017
Abstract Multipactor effect is a well-known phenomenon of RF breakdown in satellite payloads 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. However, very little attention has been focused on analysing this phenomenon using a multimodal approach. The main goal of this work is to analyse the interaction between a multipactor current and a realistic microwave cavity by means of a rigorous and accurate formulation. For the first time to t…
Efficient analysis of cubic junction of rectangular waveguides using admittance-matrix representation
2000
In the paper an efficient and accurate method, based on the multimode-admittance-matrix representation and the theory of cavities, is proposed for the analysis of a six-port ‘cubic’ junction composed of the orthogonal intersection of three rectangular waveguides. Very simple closed-form analytical expressions are explicitly detailed for all matrix elements of this basic key building block. More general waveguide multiport junctions, composed of a central cubic junction with arbitrarily shaped waveguide access ports, are also studied using a segmentation procedure. To validate the theory, numerical results are first discussed for a standard rectangular waveguide six-port cross junction. Fina…
S-domain modeling of conducting post in rectangular waveguides by the BI-RME method
2002
This paper describes the application of the Boundary Integral - Resonant Mode Expansion method to the modeling of a conducting post in a rectangular waveguide. The mathematical model of this structure is determined in a very short time, in the form of pole expansion of the Generalized Admittance Matrix in the s-domain. This model is very useful in the CAD of combline or interdigital filters.
Analysis of the multipactor effect by means of the 3D BI-RME method
2017
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…
On the Rigorous Calculation of All Ohmic Losses in Rectangular Waveguide Multi-Port Junctions
2005
In this paper, all ohmic losses effects present in rectangular waveguide multi-port junctions are rigorous and efficiently computed. For this purpose, a new formulation based on the theory of cavities, which provides generalized admittance matrix representations for such junctions, is proposed. To validate this theory, we have successfully compared our results with numerical data of a lossy E-plane T-junction and of a hollow waveguide, as well as with experimental measurements of a real H-plane T-junction.
