Abstract :
The microwave and millimeter-wave field breakdown in various unilateral finlines is investigated experimentally. First, experiments in the X-band and Ka-band are described to study the breakdown phenomenon and its effects on the structure. Then, experimental values of the maximum transmissible peak power are compared with the theoretical predictions. Experimental results confirm the validity of the theoretical model within a reasonable limit, when the uncertainties produced by the various parameters pertaining to the electric breakdown phenomenon are taken into account
