FIG. B.1: Relationship of the S-parameters in terms of the incident and reflected voltages<br />

from ports 1 and 2 for a network analyzer.<br />

cavity and there are several ways to couple power in and out of the cavity. Given<br />

the easy access to the HOM coupler ports of the zone 3 cryomodule, oftentimes<br />

the HOM1 port was connected to port 1 of the NWA and the HOM2 port was<br />

connected to port 2 of the NWA. The scattering parameter S21 is a measure of the<br />

power emerging from port 2 as a result of applying an RF signal to port 1. The<br />

output of the NWA displays the amplitude ratio versus the frequency. Near the<br />

frequency of a resonant mode, the transmission becomes large and, depending on<br />

the Q of the mode, rapidly decreases as the frequency deviates from the resonant<br />

frequency. A screenshot from a NWA of a typical S21 measurement on an SRF cavity<br />

is shown in Fig. 4.6. This type of measurement was used to determine the loaded<br />

quality factors of the dipole modes in the zone 3 and was also the setup used for<br />

the beam transfer function measurement in the experimental studies of BBU (see<br />

Section 5.4.3).<br />
