A four-rod radio frequency quadruple (RFQ) accelerator is designed,manufactured,installed and commissioned for the Peking University Neutron Imaging Facility (PKUNIFTY).This 2699.6-mm-long RFQ accelerator with the mean aperture radius of 3.88mm is operating at 201.5MHz in pulse mode.An inter-electrode voltage of 70kV is needed to accelerate the injected 50keV 40mA D+ ions up to 2MeV.We present the rf system,high rf power feeder design,lowver rf measurements and higher rf power test.Especially,the rf commissioning was carried out with rf power up to ~280 k W and duty factor of 4%.The measured x-ray spectrum shows that the rf inter-electrode voltage reaches 70.7 kV.It is found that the specific shunt impedance of the RFQ cavity reaches 52.7kΩ.m.
