Abstract
In the context of the EVEREST project, we performed Multipactor simulations of different RF samples for L- and Ku- band using CST Particle StudioTM. The RF devices evaluated in this work explore different configurations such as parallel plates, coaxial filters and Iris structures. Using a variety of measurement facilities of Secondary Electron Yields (SEY), cross validation is investigated between the new Multipactor power thresholds results and thresholds using the available SEY parameters given in ECSS. The optimization criteria to acquire accurate results are also provided.
