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.

Vircator is a vacuum microwave device characterised by a pulse working signal and high power. It is classified as a High-Power Microwave (HPM) device and often is a component of Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) weapons and microwave power transmissions. The direct source of a microwave signal is an oscillation of the so-called virtual cathode. The goal of the presented research was to apply analytical analysis and numerical prototyping methods as a methodology for optimization of the electrical and mechanical design taking into account transformation of electrons' energy into a microwave signal. One of the key drawbacks of viractors as a microwave source is a low energy efficiency transformation, which is typically of a single percentage.
