  In order to test 100 superconducting accelerator modules within two years three test benches have been created in the accelerator module test facility (AMTF) to achieve the rate of one cryomodule per week. Each RF station of the test facility consists of a 5 MW klystron, at 1.3 GHz, 1.37 ms pulse width and 10 Hz repetition rate, and a waveguide distribution system. Each waveguide distribution supplies RF power to eight cavities, four times a pair of cavities. The distribution allows for a maximum power of 1 MW per cavity when the distribution is switched to mode supplying power to only four cavities. A new type of 1 MW isolator and a new compact 5 MW power divider have been developed to achieve that goal. Several cryomodule have been already successfully tested with this setup. We present the waveguide distribution for this test stand and describe the performance of the different elements.

  At present more than half of 27 of 10 MW horizontal multi-beam klystrons (MBK) manufactured by two companies for the European XFEL project have been delivered to DESY. After delivery each klystron is connected to the connection module (CM), a HV oil tank with integrated HV connector, voltage and current monitors and a coaxial filament transformer, tested on the test stand and, if necessary conditioned. After this the klystrons are ready for installation in the underground linear accelerator tunnel. Two MBKs are already installed at the injector area of the XFEL. For the European XFEL project MBKs which can produce RF power of 10 MW, at RF frequency of 1.3 GHz, 1.5 ms pulse length and 10 Hz repetition rate, were chosen as RF power sources. During the incoming test the most important parameters of the MBK such as bandwidth, filament power, perveance, gain at different cathode voltage, phase stability and sensitivity to the solenoids current setting are measured and documented. In this paper we will give an overview of the test procedure, summarize the current test results and give a comparison of the most important parameters for several tubes.
