Wideband RF cavities are employed in the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. RF gap voltage generated during the high power beam acceleration includes the wake voltage and distortion derived from the tube amplifier. The signal from RF gap voltage monitors, which measure the RF gap voltage during the acceleration, includes these effects. We developed the longitudinal beam tracking simulation using the measurement of the RF gap voltage monitors. To apply the measurement of the RF gap voltage monitors to the simulation, the theoretical frequency response models of the voltage divider and the coaxial cable, which are the primary components of the cavity gap voltage monitor, are developed. By taking the frequency response into account, the tracking simulation well reproduces the measured bunch shape at 1 MW.
