The ECSS Multipactor Tool (Copyright ESA/ESTEC) is a software tool based on the European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) document called Multipaction design and test (ECSS-E-ST-20-01C).

The key functionalities of the ECSS Multipactor Tool version 2.0.0 is the evaluation of the Multipactor risk on RF systems in single and multicarrier modes according to the ECSS-E-ST-20-01C recommendations and standards.

In the multicarrier scenario, the Pulsed Method or the Sweep Method replace the 20-gap crossing rule. The software is also able to rebuild the Hatch & Williams susceptibility curves from actual SEY test measurements.

The ECSS Multipactor Tool version 2.0.0 is a local, multi-platforms desktop application compatible with Linux, Windows and Mac.
