Microwave Corona Breakdown Prediction in Arbitrarily-Shaped Waveguide Based Filter

Michael Mattes, Francisco Edén Sorolla Rosario

This paper describes an efficient algorithm to predict the RF gas breakdown power threshold in microwave devices with complex geometries. The two necessary calculations when investigating such a phenomenon have been performed: on the one hand, the computat ...

Contribution to modeling multipactor and corona discharges in high power electromagnetic fields

Francisco Edén Sorolla Rosario

Multipactor and microwave corona breakdown are two high frequency discharges occurring within microwave components for space applications as well as within particle accelerators. The appearance of these phenomena results in the exponential growth of the el ...

Multipactor saturation in parallel-plate waveguides

Michael Mattes, Francisco Edén Sorolla Rosario

The saturation stage of a multipactor discharge is considered of interest, since it can guide towards a criterion to assess the multipactor onset. The electron cloud under multipactor regime within a parallel-plate waveguide is modeled by a thin continuous ...

Analyzing Corona breakdown with a finite element-based electromagnetic solver

Juan Ramon Mosig, Michael Mattes, Francisco Edén Sorolla Rosario, Ioannis Koufogiannis

This paper demonstrates how an already developed finite element code for solving electromagnetic problems can be manipulated and simply extended so as to investigate complicated corona breakdowns. A safe criterion based on the eigenvalue analysis is used i ...

NxN Coupling Matrix Synthesis of Dissipative Microwave Filters

Michael Mattes, Francisco Edén Sorolla Rosario

In this communication, the coupling matrix synthesis of dissipative microwave filters is analyzed and compared to the synthesis of lossless filters. A modified definition of the vector matrix product allows using the same synthesis procedure in both cases. ...

Modeling microwave/electron-cloud interaction

Michael Mattes, Francisco Edén Sorolla Rosario

Starting from the separate codes BI-RME and ECLOUD or PyECLOUD, we are developing a novel joint simulation tool, which models the combined effect of a charged particle beam and of microwaves on an electron cloud. Possible applications include the degradati ...
