Abstract

The coefficient of microwave power absorption by a single-sided multipactor discharge on a dielectric surface is studied analytically and numerically as a function of the incident microwave power. It is shown that taking into account electron reflections from the dielectric surface leads to a substantial increase in the absorption coefficient. The analytical and numerical results are compared with experimental data.
