A wide band damper system has been developed for the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS). The system consists of two sets of PUE pickups, analog and digital processing electronics, four 500 Watt wide band power amplifiers, and two pairs of strip line deflectors. The system is currently used to damp transverse coherent instabilities and injection errors, in both planes, for protons and all species of Heavy Ions. This paper discusses the system design and operation, focusing on the engineering considerations and problems encountered in the actual implementation. Operational data from both protons and Heavy Ion beams is presented.
