FIG. 4.6: A screenshot of a typical HOM resonance curve. Markers are placed at the<br />

center frequency and at the −3 dB points to extract the QL.<br />

modes created difficulty because only a partial bandwidth could be measured. In<br />

such cases the ±45 ◦ points of the phase spectrum were used to calculate the band-<br />

width. A summary of the measured data is presented in graphical form and given<br />

in Appendix C.<br />

4.6.2 Beam-based HOM Polarization Measurements<br />

In light of Eq. (4.21), an important parameter in characterizing HOMs is the<br />

polarization of the modes. Prior to experimentally measuring these values, BBU<br />

simulations were performed with dipole HOM pairs assigned orientations of 0 ◦ and<br />

90 ◦ and then repeated with orientations of 90 ◦ and 0 ◦ degrees, with the threshold<br />

taken as the lowest of the two cases. Essentially only worst case scenarios were sim-<br />

ulated. In principle, bead pull measurements can be used to extract mode polariza-<br />

tions. However, the small geometric perturbations from cavity to cavity introduced<br />

101<br />

during the fabrication process leads to a unique HOM spectrum for each cavity.
