Abstract

This is the first article in a series describing the ongoing effort of the Transmitter Group to upgrade the arc protection subsystems that are, or will be, implemented in the DSN high-power transmitters. This article reviews the status of our present knowledge about waveguide arcs in terms of a simple engineering model and discusses a fairly general arc detection scheme. Areas where further studies are needed are pointed out along with our proposed approaches to the solutions of these problems.
