An analytical model to evaluate the radiated power spectrum of a multipactor discharge in a parallel-plate region
2008
This paper is aimed at studying the electromagnetic radiation pattern of a multipactor discharge occurring in a parallel-plate waveguide. The proposed method is based on the Fourier expansion of the multipactor current in terms of time-harmonic currents radiating in the parallel-plate region. Classical radiation theory combined with the frequency domain Green's function of the problem allows the calculation of both the electric and the magnetic radiated fields. A novel analytical formula for the total radiated power of each multipactor harmonic has been derived. This formula is suitable for predicting multipactor with the third-harmonic technique. The proposed formulation has been successfu…
Multipactor Analysis in Circular Waveguides
2009
[EN] This paper mainly focuses on demonstrating that a multipactor discharge can occur within a circular waveguide operating under the fundamental TE11 circular mode. Circular waveguides are widely used in the fabrication of many passive components, in order to implement resonant cavities as well as irises to connect adjacent guides for both application domains, particle accelerators and satellite subsystems applications. Thus, we present the first study of the multipactor effect in a circular waveguide, demonstrating its existence and providing a susceptibility chart for such a structure, which will be of great interest for the better understanding of multipactor physical phenomena.
Electron Emission of Pt: Experimental Study and Comparison With Models in the Multipactor Energy Range
2016
Experimental data of secondary emission yield (SEY) and electron emission spectra of Pt under electron irradiation for normal incidence and primary energies lower than 1 keV are presented. Several relevant magnitudes, as total SEY, elastic backscattering probability, secondary emission spectrum, and backscattering coefficient, are given for different primary energies. These magnitudes are compared with theoretical or semiempirical formulas commonly used in the related literature.
Analysis of the multipactor effect in microwave waveguides and transmission lines
2017
El trabajo desarrollado en la presente tesis doctoral tiene por objeto el estudio del efecto multipactor en guías de microondas. La descarga de multipactor es un fenómeno que aparece en componentes que operan en condiciones de alto vacío, y en presencia de campos electromagnéticos de gran intensidad en el rango de la radiofrecuencia (RF) y las microondas. El efecto multipactor aparece en un amplio rango de dispositivos como son los componentes pasivos de los satélites de telecomunicaciones espaciales, los aceleradores de partículas, y los amplificadores tipo klystron. Este fenómeno se produce debido a la presencia de electrones libres en el interior del dispositivo que son acelerados por el…
Multipactor radiation analysis within a waveguide region based on a frequency-domain representation of the dynamics of charged particles
2009
[EN] A technique for the accurate computation of the electromagnetic fields radiated by a charged particle moving within a parallel-plate waveguide is presented. Based on a transformation of the time-varying current density of the particle into a time-harmonic current density, this technique allows the evaluation of the radiated electromagnetic fields both in the frequency and time domains, as well as in the near- and far-field regions. For this purpose, several accelerated versions of the parallel-plate Green's function in the frequency domain have been considered. The theory has been successfully applied to the multipactor discharge occurring within a two metal-plates region. The proposed…
