Title :
Characteristics and Effects of CW High Power Breakdown in Waveguide
Abstract :
Characteristics of arcs resulting from high power breakdown at microwave frequencies have been determined as a function of CW power level. The power absorbed in, reflected from, and transmitted through arcs as well as the travel velocity of arcs were determined. The effect of arcs on waveguide devices was evaluated empirically and visually, and the capabilities of these devices to impede arc propagation was ascertained.
