Abstract :
This paper presents the analysis, manufacturing and testing of a coaxial sample in order to investigate the multipactor effect in this kind of waveguide structures. Several in-home and commercial software CAD tools have been used to design a quarter-wave transformer coaxial circuit centred at 1.35 GHz, as well as the distribution of electromagnetic field. Moreover, the results obtained in the multipactor test and the results predicted with our simulations using MULTICOAX are in good agreement. Additionally, the comparison with results from the technical literature has fully validated the new algorithm developed
