Abstract :
A new global method for unambiguous detection of multipaction in microwave communication systems is presented. Theory as well as experiments demonstrate the potential and usefulness of the method. A short review of existing methods for multipaction detection is given as a background, in order to illustrate the advantages of the new method.
