The Q values of Higher Order Modes (HOMs) in RF cavities are usually calculated from the resonance bandwidth measured at -3 dB level by a network analyzer. The resonant curve distortion is caused by the resonance split due to the ellipticity caused by manufacturing tolerances, and RF ports. Therefore, the measured Q values are usually lower than the simulated or theoretical Q values. In some cases, only one mode’s Q can be measured with the -3 dB method. There may be two reasons for this. One is that one mode is excited strongly, while the neighboring split-mode is close to 90o polarized and thus excited weakly; the other reason is that the resonant curve of one mode was distorted by the other mode too much to measure the -3 dB level. In this paper, we resolve this issue by looking into the RF measurement setup, including cavity, input coupler and pick-up coupler, from the equivalent circuit and wave point of view. Using HOM data for a copper prototype of the BNL3 cavity, we compare the results from measurements and simulations.
