Abstract :
This paper deals with the microwave breakdown phenomenon that can appear in output multiplexer filters for telecommunications satellites. In order to model this phenomenon a multidisciplinary approach with a combination of three fields of science was used: electromagnetism, thermal transfer theory and plasma physics. In this article we resume the theoretical study and we present our experimental validation.
