The button BPM is under development for a low beta section of the Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE) at Fermilab. The presented paper includes an analytical estimation of the BPM performance as well a direct wakefield simulation with CST Particle Studio (on a hexahedral mesh). In addition we present a novel approach of a low beta beam interaction with BPM electrodes realized with ANSYS HFSS TD-solver on unstructured tetrahedral mesh. Both methods show a good agreement of BPM output signals for various beam parameters. Finally we describe the signal processing scheme and the electronics we are going to use.

As part of the Fermilab Proton Improvement Plan, the readout electronics for the Fermilab H− Linac has been upgraded. The new custom electronics provide a low cost solution to process the 2nd harmonic of the RF at 402.5MHz. A single 4 channel NIM-bin module is used to readout each 4 plate stripline BPM pickup with each module being locked to an external 805MHz machine reference from the low level RF. For each BPM a number of measurements are provided including average horizontal and vertical position, average intensity, and average relative phase for variable pulse lengths from a few μs up to 50~usec. The system is being exploited in a number of ways with new operations applications.
