The CLIC two beam acceleration technology requires a drive beam phase stability of better than 0.3 deg rms at 12 GHz, corresponding to a timing stability below 50 fs rms. For this reason the CLIC design includes a phase stabilization feed-forward system. It relies on precise beam phase measurement and its subsequent correction in a chicane with help of fast kickers. A prototype of such a system is being installed in CLIC Test Facility CTF3. In this paper we describe in detail its design and implementation. Additionally, we present and discuss the performance of the precision phase monitor prototypes installed at the end of the CTF3 linac, measured with the drive beam.
