A major bottleneck in the development of compact, rapid-cycling particle accelerators is the ability to maintain phase coherence between the short orbit time of the particle bunch and the phase of the accelerating RF field. A ferroelectric loaded RF cavity can achieve the needed phase shift in a significantly shorter time than alternative technologies. The current status of the development of such a cavity including the cold test of a preliminary cartridge and the testing of the bias voltage subsystem will be presented.
