  In the J-PARC Linac, the radio frequency deflector was adopted as a chopper to capture the particles into the RF-bucket in the next synchrotron. The chopper, consists of two deflectors, was installed on the medium-energy beam-transport line. In the operation of the RF-chopper, the fast rise/fall time of the pulse is a fundamental requirement to minimize the beam loss due to insufficient deflection to some beam bunches. In the previous system, the two series-connected chopper deflectors were driven by one solid- state amplifier. However, the fall time indicated a poor result to effect the ringing into each cavity. Therefore, the additional solid-state amplifier and low level RF system were installed in the summer 2012 and the connection changed to the parallel system from the series using two amplifiers. The rise/fall time of the chopped beam, is defined as the step height of 10% and 90%, was about 20 nsec in the beam current of 15 mA and the effect of the ringing was decreased. We would like to introduce the performance of the new chopper system.
