  Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT) has taken up a program on R&D activities of a 1 GeV, high intensity superconducting proton linac for a spallation neutron source. A 3 MeV Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) will be used as front end of the pulsed proton linac. A full scale prototype RFQ structure has been designed and fabricated to validate the physics design and manufacturing procedures. The total of 3.46 meter has been divided in three segments for ease in machining. The fabricated RFQ structure has been assembled for low power RF characterization. The RFQ frequency and field tuning exercise is being carried out using 48 stub tuners. The paper will also present the engineering design aspects and fabrication issues for the full scale RFQ structure.
