The cryogenic rf tests of SRF cavities in vertical cryostats is typically carried out using fixed-length antennae to couple rf power into the cavity and to probe the energy stored into the cavity. Although variable couplers have been designed, built and used in the past, they are often a complex, costly, not very reliable auxiliary component to the cavity test. In this contribution we present the design and implementation of a simple variable rf antenna which has about 50 mm travel, allowing to obtain about four orders of magnitude variation in Qext -value. The motion of the antenna is driven by a motorized linear feedthrough outside of the cryostat. The antenna can easily be mounted on the most common type of cavity flanges. |
