Abstract

The reliability of the communication link shall be affected severely due to failure modes such as multipactor, low pressure discharge, and thermal damage that are commonly found in the RF connector when it performs high-power microwave signal transmission in the vacuum environment of outer space. This paper proposes supporting measures in respect of design against multipactor, low pressure discharge and thermal damage after analyzing mechanisms of failure modes of the RF connectors when it transmits high-power microwave signals in a vacuum environment. Upon tests, these proposed measures can effectively guarantee the reliability of the RF coaxial connector transmitting high-power signals in vacuum.
