AEROSPACE REPORT NUMBER: TOR-2014-02198, STANDARD/HANDBOOK FOR MULTIPACTOR BREAKDOWN PREVENTION IN SPACECRAFT COMPONENTS (28-MAY-2014)., This document (Aerospace TOR-2014-02198) is intended to provide a standardized process for mitigation of radio frequency (RF) breakdown within spacecraft components. It is directed toward component designers, satellite system engineers, as well as the customer community to provide worstcase conditions, margin requirements, and verification of those requirements using state-of-the-art methodologies. In addition, recommended methods are provided, with examples, to ensure proper requirement verification for all satellite RF components susceptible to RF breakdown.
