Multipactor is a much studied AC discharge [1,2] that is harmful to microwave components. There is substantial current interest on this topic because of its threat to satellite communications [3]. In this paper, we present an analytical model to assess the effects of multipactor on the distortion of a signal. Extensions to multi-tone and modulated signals will also be attempted.
