RF characters study of a pick-up parallel-setting HOM coupler

A pick-up parallel-setting high order mode coupler(pps-HOM coupler)has been fabricated at Peking University.It has been tested on a coaxial transmission line and a 2-cell TESLA-shape copper cavity.The test result of the 2-cell TESLA cavity shows that the coupler can cut off the fundamental mode TM010 and absorb HOMs electively.As its RF properties are insensitive to the probe dip length,there is no need to adjust the probe repeatedly during practical operation.
