TL;DR: In this paper, the multipactor power threshold in arbitrary complex components based on rectangular waveguide technology is investigated and a full multipactor model is described and tested for a particular set of devices for which experimental measurements have been also performed.

TL;DR: In this article, a dual-polarized system fully implemented in substrate integrated technology is presented, which comprises an orthomode transducer (OMT) with planar excitation schemes for both orthogonal TE10- and TE01-modes and a dual polarized horn antenna, and the complete structure was manufactured exhibiting an 8.6% bandwidth (13.9-15.15 GHz) where both modes are well matched (28 dB).

TL;DR: In this article, a new prediction algorithm for multipactor breakdown determination in multicarrier signals is presented, which assumes a quasi-stationary (QS) model based on the nonstationary theory for single-carrier signals.

TL;DR: Anza et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a new theory of multipactor under multicarrier signals for parallel-plate geometries, assuming a homogeneous electric field and one-dimensional electron motion.

TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient algorithm to predict the RF gas breakdown power threshold in microwave devices with complex geometries is described, where the electromagnetic fields are solved by means of modal techniques and coupled to the free electron continuity equation.
