High-power tests were conducted on a 350MHz, single-cell copper accelerating cavity driven simultaneously by two H-loop input couplers for the purpose of determining the reliability, performance, and power-handling capability of the cavity and related components, which have routinely operated at 100kW power levels. The test was carried out utilizing the APS 350MHz RF Test Stand, which was modified to split the input rf power into two 1/2-power feeds, each supplying power to a separate H-loop coupler on the cavity. Electromagnetic simulations of the two-coupler feed system were used to determine coupler match, peak cavity fields, and the effect of phasing errors between the coupler feedlines. The test was conducted up to a maximum total rf input power to the cavity of 200kW CW. Test apparatus details and performance data will be presented.
