Increasing the beam charge and repetition rate leads to appearance of beam break-up instabilities in conventional ERLs. At this stage the highest current, from the SRF ERL, is around 300mA. A single turn, dual axis, compact Asymmetric Energy Recovery LINAC (AERL) was proposed. The concept assumes the use of electron beams with energies up to 300 MeV and peak currents >1A, enabling the generation of high flux EUV/X-rays and THz radiation using conventional approaches. System allows beam to be transported through each stage i.e. the acceleration, interaction and deceleration only once partially removing the feedback thus increasing the instability start current. This further improved by tuning the individual cells allowing only operating mode to be uniform inside the cavity. We present the studies of 7 cells, aluminium alloy prototype of the cavity and discuss the experimental results. We show that HOMs excited on the different axis have different R/Q factors and show the field structures of operating mode and HOMs. The experimental results observed are in good agreement with theoretical predictions and the full scale copper prototype is demonstrated.
