	For an RF input coupler test, a 175MHz high-Q load circuit based on a 6 1/8 in. co-axial waveguide was developed. This circuit consists of the RF input coupler, a trombone-type phase shifter and a stub tuner. The coupler with a loop antenna and the stub tuner are located in edges of the circuit, the loop antenna and the tuner work for a short plate. When RF input power is injected into the circuit, a high-voltage standing wave is excited by adjusting the tuner. The power of standing wave required for the tests is also accumulated due to its low resistive loss. At the operation frequency of 175 MHz, the resistive loss of 0.046ohm is measured and an equivalent RF power of 200 kW is accumulated by the RF input power of 740 W. In this circuit, the bandwidth is narrow to be ±5 kHz in S11 parameter of less -20 dB, but the equivalent RF power of 200 kW-14 sec CW could be achieved after sufficient RF aging. Using this high-Q load circuit, all the fabricated 9 couplers were successfully tested for RF contact defects, unnecessary low-Q value and extraordinary outgassing. This article describes these RF properties in detail.

For an RF input coupler test, a 175MHz high-Q load circuit based on a 6 1/8 in. co-axial waveguide was developed. This circuit consists of the RF input coupler, a trombone-type phase shifter and a stub tuner. The coupler with a loop antenna and the stub tuner are located in edges of the circuit, the loop antenna and the tuner work for a short plate. When RF input power is injected into the circuit, a high-voltage standing wave is excited by adjusting the tuner. The power of standing wave required for the tests is also accumulated due to its low resistive loss. At the operation frequency of 175 MHz, the resistive loss of 0.046ohm is measured and an equivalent RF power of 200 kW is accumulated by the RF input power of 740 W. In this circuit, the bandwidth is narrow to be ±5 kHz in S11 parameter of less -20 dB, but the equivalent RF power of 200 kW-14 sec CW could be achieved after sufficient RF aging. Using this high-Q load circuit, all the fabricated 9 couplers were successfully tested for RF contact defects, unnecessary low-Q value and extraordinary outgassing. This article describes these RF properties in detail.
