Abstract
Spacial coaxial resonator plays an important role in spacial system. However, its multipactor effect has not been reported so far. This paper presents a novel type of coaxial resonator structure with low multipactor risk. Compared with conventional coaxial resonator structures, the proposed structure improves the multipactor threshold of filters nearly 3 dB. Experimental results and 3D full-wave analysis show good accordance with the predicted characteristics.
