- Abstract
We present the results of an experimental study of the one-sided multipactor discharge in crossed fields, namely, a dc magnetic field and a high-frequency electric field, in a cylindrical cavity at the TM mode in the 3-cm wavelength band. It is found that the discharge can develop in about 15 ns. In this case, the electron number density can reach values which are comparable with critical ones for this radiation frequency. As a result of the discharge evolution, the cavity switches from the regime of signal transmission to that of signal reflection. In this case, the maximum specific power dissipated by the discharge in the cavity walls can amount to several kilowatts per square centimeter.
