Abstract
An RF device disposed in a vacuum-like environment including two RF electrodes capable of supporting multipacting in at least a RF high voltage region thereof has disposed therebetween a solid dielectric material having a given dielectric constant and a given dielectric strength to eliminate multipacting.
Claims4
An arrangement to eliminate multipacting in radio frequency (RF) devices disposed in a vacuum-like environment comprising:
- a RF device disposed in said environment, said device having two RF electrodes capable of supporting multipacting in a RF high voltage region therebetween;
- and
- a dielectric material having a given dielectric constant and a given dielectric strength disposed between said two electrodes in at least said region to eliminate multipacting, said dielectric material completely filling said region;
- said environment is space;
- and
- said RF device including
- a microwave filter having a cavity with a cavity wall providing one of said two electrodes and a plurality of resonators providing the other of said two electrodes;
- and
- said dielectric material fills said cavity.
