Muon accelerators are proposed world wide for future neutrino factory, muon colliders and other applications. One of the problem on accelerating muons is their large emittance as well as huge energy spreads. We carried out some simulation works on large acceptance muon linear accelerator that operates at mixed buncher / acceleration mode. The designed linac has following features: iris structure of 12 cm diameter, inject ~100 MeV muon beam and accelerates to several 100 MeV, 700 MHz and 25 MV/m peak field. Further acceleration of the muon beam can be easily done by extending the muon linear accelerator. According to the simulation, our linac can accelerates DC muon beam of 20 - 100 MeV range with 20 % phase acceptance.
