Does anybody have any papers or advise on calculating or simulating voltage breakdown in RF components?
In the case of filters this is highly dependante on the shapes of the resonant and coupling parts and the properties of the dielectrics used. I currently use CST to simulate filters, but have not been able to find a method to calculate the maximum power rating of my designs. I am still using an old rule of thumb method which I'm sure underates the filters by quite a wide margin.
