  The 324 MHz Alvarez-type Drift Tube Linac (DTL) for the China spallation neutron source will be used to accelerate the H ion beam of up to 15 mA peak current from 3 to 80 MeV. It consists of four independent tanks, of which the average length is about 8.6 m. Each tank is divided into three short unit tanks about 2.8 m in length for easy manufacture. A full-scale prototype of the first unit tank with 28 drift tubes containing electromagnetic quadrupoles has been constructed to validate the design and to demonstrate the technology. The overall features of the prototype in both key technology and RF tuning are presented. In particular, the influence of the post couplers was studied in the ramped field DTL.
