  • Multipactor plasma ignition devices and techniques
    Patent number: 11915916
    Abstract: A high temperature plasma generating system has a magnetron joined to a frustoconical waveguide reflector. An antenna is set on a cavity magnetron tube and extends the length of the antenna. Applying electrical power to the magnetron creates multipactor in the frustoconical waveguide reflector, generating plasma focused at the tip of the extended magnetron antenna.

  • MULTIPACTOR PLASMA IGNITION DEVICES AND TECHNIQUES
    Publication number: 20210280402
    Abstract: A high temperature plasma generating system has a ceramic magnetron insulator joined to a frustoconical waveguide reflector. A cavity magnetron tube is joined to the frustoconical waveguide reflector. An antenna is set in the cavity magnetron tube and extending through the ceramic magnetron insulator. Applying an electrical current to the magnetron creates multipactor in the frustoconical waveguide reflector generating plasma focused at the tip of the magnetron antenna.
