We report on design work and testing of several main components of the
FOM-Fusion-FEM project. Measurements on the electron gun are presente
d, showing a uniform beam current profile and a low halo current. A ti
me-dependent simulation study of the interaction between the electron
beam and the mm-waves shows that, for proper undulator tapering, longi
tudinal mode competition results in a quasi single-mode regime. Furthe
r, some high power and detailed low power measurements on mock-ups of
the waveguide system are presented, showing that the reflection and ou
tcoupling systems perform well.
