This paper studies the effect of digitally modulated signals on the evolution of the multipaction phenomenon. Multipactor is numerically analyzed in a parallel plates waveguide for a variety of common digital modulation techniques. Breakdown power thresholds and the temporal evolution of the particle population are computed. Results demonstrate that the phenomenon may be remarkably affected depending on the applied modulation scheme.
