            High order modes (HOM) are generated by the interaction
            of a bunched beam with an accelerator environment. They
            may act destructively on following particle bunches, leading
            to an increase of the transverse oscillation amplitude
            and finally to the deterioration of the emittance. Dipole
            modes have been studied at the S-Band Test Facility at
            DESY. One accelerating structure, specially designed for
            this test linac, is equipped with waveguide pick-ups for
            measuring the HOMs. For one part of the experiments, a
            modulation of the transverse offset of the bunches at the
            structure entrance has been induced using a fast broadband
            kicker and the effect was measured with a precise stripline
            BPM. No high impedance modes were clearly found in the
            structure, which has been detuned and damped by both the
            tapered geometry of the structure and an absorbing stainless
            steel coating applied on the iris tips.
