Multicoax: a Software Tool for Predicting Multipactor Rf Breakdown Threshold in Coaxial and Circular Waveguides
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the last years many numerical techniques and CAD tools have been developed in order to characterize the electromagnetic response of microwave devices such as filters or resonators. On the other hand, today applications also demand a higher component integration as well as more power hadling capabilities. Both requeriments lead to higher electromagnetic field densities inside the devices which results in a higher risk from the microwave breakdown point of view.

Multipactor discharges are a resonant condition in which electrons impact a surface in phase with an alternating electric field. The discharge is sustained by electron multiplication from secondary emission. As motivation, multipactor discharges can adversely affect many different rf systems in vacuum, and this work provides an improved general understanding of multipactor and gives promising r...

Multipactor discharges consists of electron multiplication between two surfaces by secondary electron emission in resonance with an alternating electric field. They are detrimental to the performance of radio frequency (RF) systems, such as the ICRF (ion cyclotron range of frequencies) antennas for heating of plasmas in the Alcator C-Mod tokamak and other nuclear fusion devices. This work inves...

Studies of multipactor resonances in coaxial and hollow waveguide via standard particle trajectory and secondary emission numerical simulation techniques are presented. Agreement between simulations and experimentally observed multipactor barriers gives confidence in results of simulation studies of a wedgeshaped hollow waveguide geometry that shows promise of being far less susceptible to mult...
