AbstractAdditive Manufacturing (AM) has the potential to increase the performance of radio frequency (rf) cavity resonators while cutting manufacturing costs. To leverage this potential, AM processes and potentially post-processing techniques must be tailored to cavity requirements. Additionally, conventional manufacturing's quality assurance methods must adapt to the AM case requiring numerous studies on additively manufactured test bodies. We introduce a compact rf cavity design, enabling cost-effective and precise studies of the surface conductivity of test bodies. The test body is mounted on a dielectric holder inside a cylindrical rf cavity made of aluminum. The geometry of the test body corresponds to a rod which allows simple and cost-effective production, post-processing and evaluation. The test body’s surface conductivity is extracted from a measurement of the quality factor (Q0) of the cavity. Depending on the geometry of the test body, Q0 values of over 10,000 can be achieved for copper test bodies. Thereby, the test body is responsible for up to two thirds of the total cavity loss. Studies will be presented demonstrating the precision of surface conductivity determination via Q-measurement and the impact of uncertainties in test body position and geometry.
