RF Breakdown Analysis and Thermal Management Within CST Studio Suite Environment

Different applications require the use of high-power levels. Examples include base stations, satellite communication systems, electronics, etc. CST Studio Suite environment provides tools and solvers to analyze aspects of high-power components such as thermal effects, fluid flow, stress and deformation or RF breakdown. In this workshop, we will introduce workflows for RF breakdown analysis involving Spark3D analysis tool such as RF breakdown in cavity filters, multipactor multicarrier analysis or RF breakdown under modulated signals. We will also introduce the CST Studio Suite technology for thermal management and apply it to a practical case of a water-cooled high-power waveguide diplexer.
