- Single-surface multipactor on metal surfaces is studied in the case when the microwave electric field is superimposed on a dc electric and a permanent magnetic field. Based on a simple analysis of the electron motion, it is predicted that considerable reduction in the multipactor threshold is possible when the electron cyclotron frequency is equal to the microwave field frequency and the permanent magnetic field has the proper orientation with respect to the metal surface. The prediction is confirmed by numerical simulations, and some experimental indications of the reduced multipactor threshold are also presented.

- An experimental and numerical investigation is made of multipactor discharges in a coaxial waveguide. Particular attention is given to the determination of the multipactor threshold and the distribution of the impact energy of the electrons. Simulations are carried out for different parameters of the secondary emission coefficient of the electrode surfaces. This makes it possible to determine these parameters through a comparison between the numerical and experimental results. The comparison also shows that the observed multipactor is mainly of polyphase (non-resonant) nature and represents a mixture of single- and double-surface multipactor discharges.

Simple model of the rf noise generated by multipacting electrons

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A simplified analytical model is developed to predict the spectrum of electric current induced by the multipacting electrons between two parallel electrodes exposed to an rf voltage of fixed amplitude. The model is based on the resonant multipactor theory and makes it possible to calculate the relative spectral amplitudes of electric current at different harmonics and sub-harmonics of the applied rf frequency. The theoretical predictions are confirmed by numerical simulations of multipactor inside a rectangular waveguide. Specifically it is seen that the relative height of the spectral peaks decreases with increasing gap height.

Simulations of multipactor in circular waveguides

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Detailed numerical simulations have been done to investigate the properties of multipactorbreakdown in circular waveguides operating in the propagating fundamental TE11 mode. Mainattention has been given to a comparison between the two fundamental cases corresponding to linearand circular polarizations, respectively, of the propagating electromagnetic wave. It is found thatcircular polarization is considerably more susceptible to multipactor than linear polarization. Thereason for this difference is clarified by a comprehensive study of the electron motion in thewaveguide.
