The waveguide to coaxial cable adapter is very important to the cavity beam position monitor(CBPM)because it determines how much of the energy in the cavity could be coupled outside.In this paper,the waveguide to coaxial cable adapter of a CBPM is designed and experiments are conducted.The curve shapes of experiments and simulations are very similar and the difference in reflection is less than 0.1.This progress provides a reliable method for designing the adapter.
