Analysis of multipactor RF breakdown in a waveguide containing a transversely magnetized ferrite
2016
In this paper, the multipactor RF breakdown in a parallel-plate waveguide partially filled with a ferrite slab magnetized normal to the metallic plates is studied. An external magnetic field is applied along the vertical direction between the plates in order to magnetize the ferrite. Numerical simulations using an in-house 3-D code are carried out to obtain the multipactor RF voltage threshold in this kind of structures. The presented results show that the multipactor RF voltage threshold at certain frequencies becomes considerably lower than for the corresponding classical metallic parallel-plate waveguide with the same vacuum gap
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…
Comparison between the Kummer's transformation and Ewald method for the evaluation of the parallel plate Green's functions
2006
In this paper, we present a convergence and efficiency study of two different acceleration techniques for the evaluation of the parallel plate Green's functions. The first technique is based on the extraction of the asymptotic terms of the spectral representation of the parallel plate Green's functions by applying the Kummer's transformation. The second technique is a straightforward reformulation of the 2-D Green's functions for 1-D periodic structures to the parallel plate case. The PPW Green's functions calculated by the two methods have been successfully applied to the analysis of a practical inductive microwave filter containing metallic and dielectric posts. The filter analysis techni…
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…
