Abstract :
A new 1.26-MHz RF system has been installed in the Fermilab Antiproton Accumulator. The high power and wide dynamic range of the system allow it to be used for a variety of beam acceleration and capture tasks. A description of the mechanical, cooling, and electrical considerations for the high-power ferrite loaded cavity and the design of the low level electronics are presented. Operational experience including the double bunch unstacking performance is discussed
