  abstract     = {{ESS-Bilbao RFQ power coupler is presented. The RFQ operates at 352.2 MHz and will accelerate the 32 mA proton beam extracted from the ion source up to 3.0MeV. The RFQ will complete the ESS-Bilbao injector, that can be used by the ARGITU neutron source or as a stand-alone facility. The machining of the RFQ is finished, and vacuum tests as well as low power RF measurements have been carried out. The presented power coupler is a first iteration of the device, designed to be of easier and faster manufacturing than what might be needed for future upgrades of the linac. The coupler does not have active cooling and no brazing has been needed to assemble it. It can operate at the RF power required by the RFQ but at lower duty cycles. The dielectric window is made of polymeric material, so it can withhold the assembly using vacuum seals and bolts. Design and manufacturing issues are reported in the paper, as well as the RF tests that have been carried out at medium power. Multipacting calculations compared to measured values during conditioning are also reported. High power tests of the coupler have also been performed in the ISIS-FETS RFQ and are also described here.}},
