  The Advanced Photon Source has considered using a deflecting-cavity-based scheme to produce short pulse xrays. A deflecting cavity design has been completed. To verify the simulation result on this cavity, a copper prototype of the design has been fabricated for bench measurement. In this paper, we report our measurement results on this cavity. All the cavity modes below 5 GHz were identified by comparing the field distributions with calculations along different beam paths. After adding the damper, the measured Qexts of those modes were consistent with calculated values, which demonstrated that the cavity damping scheme was sufficient to reduce the wake impedances well below the safety thresholds.
