Abstract The beam coupling impedance (BCI) of an accelerator component should be ideally evaluated exciting the device with the beam itself. However, this scenario is not always attainable and alternative methods must be exploited, such as the bench measurements techniques. The stretched Wire Method (WM) is a well established technique for BCI evaluations, although nowadays its limitations are well known. In particular, the stretched wire perturbs the electromagnetic boundary conditions. Therefore, the results obtained could be inaccurate, especially below the cut-off frequency of the beam pipe in the case of cavity-like structures. To overcome these limitations, efforts are being made to investigate alternative bench measurement techniques that will not require the modification of the device under test (DUT). In this framework, a wireless method has been identified and tested for a pillbox cavity. Its potential for more complex structures, such as the LHC crystal goniometer is explored.
