An Open Platform Tool for 2D Multipactor Simulations in Metallic Microwave Components

The paper presents a computer simulation software aimed at assessing the multipactor threshold power in a rectangular waveguide working with single tone excitation. Initial tests demonstrate a strong agreement between the simulation results obtained and those from commercial software. Contrary to the existing commercial software, our tool will be provided as Open Platform, for free use and popularisation of knowledge about physical phenomena resulting from interactions of microwaves with materials.
