  In order to accelerate the proposed beam intensity for Project-X, a new RF system for Main Injector (MI) will be required. A new 53 MHz first harmonic RF cavity that meets the MI requirements for Project-X has been designed. In order to reduce the peak longitudinal beam density a 106 MHz second harmonic RF system is also needed. The first harmonic RF cavity design is a quarter wave coaxial resonator with a single accelerating gap and a perpendicular biased ferrite tuner. The second harmonic RF cavity baseline design is similar to the fundamental one and scaled down from it. RF simulations and shape optimizations on the second harmonic cavity are carried out to obtain the optimal performance which meets Project-X requirements. The results are discussed and presented in this paper.
