(2022, November 22). Multipactor Breakdown Analysis of Ku-Band Meandered Low-Pass Filter. International Workshop on Multipactor, Corona and Passive Intermodulation (MULCOPIM), Valencia, Spain. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7343236https://academica-e.unavarra.es/handle/2454/44390In this work, a very compact rectangular waveguide low-pass filter with meandered topology based on commensurate lines for Ku-band satellite applications is analysed for high-power handling capabilities. The device consists of rectangular waveguide sections properly cascaded to form a meandered topology to obtain the desired value of the local reflection coefficients. which are essential to achieve the target frequency response and also to keep large mechanical gaps. Hence, this technique allows us not only to design a filter with compact size but a filter geometry which is suitable for high power applications. In the paper, the low-pass filter based on commensurate lines is first designed by cascading E-plane mitered bends (±90° EMBs) in CST Microwave Studio (MWS) and then the values of the electromagnetic fields at the passband frequencies are exported to Spark3D to perform a multipactor analysis. The critical areas inside the device where the multipactor discharge occurs will also be identified in the high-power analysis. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7343236application/pdfengCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)Waveguide filterMultipactorCommensurate lineKu-bandSatellite applicationsHigh-power filterContribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaAcceso abierto / Sarbide irekiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
