This paper describes the different techniques available to predict the multipactor threshold power for radio frequency (RF) and microwave passive hardware under continuous wave (CW) excitation, from cumbersome particle simulations to fast approximate methods based on circuit models. All these techniques have been described and compared together for the first time, including also a detailed description of the configuration issues of commercial particle simulators required to obtain accurate multipactor threshold predictions. The techniques are applied to both wideband and narrowband application examples. The predictions have been compared with measured thresholds of manufactured samples obtained with a novel multipactor test bed, thus allowing to highlight the advantages and limitations of each technique and particle simulator.
