At the Free Electron Laser FLASH at DESY, the installed Bunch Arrival-time Monitors (BAMs) use an electro-optical detection scheme for arrival-time measurements. The achieved time resolution is in the sub-10 fs range for bunch charges higher than 500 pC. The extension of FLASH II and the European X-ray Free Electron Laser Project (XFEL) foresees a low charge operation mode with bunch charge of 20 pC or less. The time resolution of the BAMs significantly drops as the bunch charge reduces (*). By expanding the bandwidth of the pickups one can increase the time resolution at low charges. In this paper, we present the characterization results of the manufactured cone-shaped pickups introduced in (**) with a bandwidth up to 40 GHz. The pickups mounted in a vacuum body exhibit four-fold rotational symmetry with respect to the beam pipe. Due to different beam pipe apertures for FLASH and XFEL, two bodies are manufactured. The rf properties of the mounted pickups in case of open and sealed body as well as the pickups separately are measured and compared to the simulation results obtained by CST STUDIO SUITE®.
