The progress made and the difficulties encountered with the RFQ are discussed in this paper. A power coupler proto-type for the RFQ has been developed while several me-chanical constraints were also studied in the final cou-pler. This prototype operates at a lower power, then it can work using PEEK window for the vacuum interface and it does not require neither brazing nor cooling system. Also, a complete RF test stand is being implemented to perform the high-power conditioning in traveling and standing wave mode, to verify the power handling capa-bility of the coupler and its thermal behaviour. The RF test stand, based on EPICS environment, can provide up to 2 MW peak power at 352.2 MHz in a pulse operation of 14 Hz and a duty cycle of 4.9%.}}, }
