Multi-carrier microwave breakdown in air-filled components
Ulf Jordan, T. Olsson, Vladimir E. Semenov, Dan Anderson, M. Lisak · 2002
An investigation is made of the threshold for microwave breakdown in mobile telephone communication systems based on multi-carrier operation where interference between the carriers may cause occasional high power peaks in the transmission system. Thresholds are established for the worst case scenario of coherent and co-phased carriers as well as for the more realistic case of modulated carriers when the signal is considered as a stochastic signal.
