	An input power system is currently being designed at ESS-Bilbao in order to inject the RF power provided by a klystron into the RFQ as part of the linac. In this work, some input power couplers based on a coaxial topology are carefully studied from an electromagnetic point of view. As we will show, the electrical properties of the ceramic window used to ensure the vacuum of the RFQ crucially deteriorates the matching of the devices. To overcome this drawback, a full-wave electromagnetic simulator is used to optimize the coupler dimensions in order to minimize both the return and insertion losses.

	This work will present the design of the ESS-Bilbao LINAC RFQ cold model.
