The proposed method is based on the Fourier expansion of the multipactor current in terms of timeharmonic currents radiating in the parallel-plate region. Classical radiation theory combined with the frequency domain Green’s function of the problem allows the calculation of both the electric and the magnetic radiated fields. A novel analytical formula for the total radiated power of each multipactor harmonic has been derived. This formula is suitable for predicting multipactor with the third-harmonic technique. The proposed formulation has been successfully tested with a particle-in-cell code. %K Teoría de la Señal y las Comunicaciones %K Descarga de microondas %K Efecto multipactor %K Guía de ondas de placa paralela %K Potencia radiada %K Tercer armónico de detención %K Técnica %K Microwave discharges %K Multipactor effect %K Parallel plate waveguide %K Radiated power %K Third harmonic detection technique %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
