Summary form only given. A module consisting of five 100 GW Fast LTD cavities stacked in series was tested with e-beam diode load to study how a number of cavities behave and add their energy, power and voltage output in a voltage adder configuration assembly. In this report we present the design of the module and diode, and compare test results with simulations.
