  In order to determine the beam position respect to the vacuum chamber, the IPU senses the azimuthal distribution of the beam image current flowing along its inner wall when a high frequency bunched beam passes through. The inner wall of the pick-up is divided into four electrodes, each of which forms the primary winding of a toroidal transformer. Therefore the beam image current component flowing through each electrode is transformed to a secondary winding connected to a pick-up output. The closer the beam is to the transformer electrode, the greater is the induced signal in its secondary winding. This basic sensing mechanism will allow to determine the beam position through the four transformers distributed orthogonally around the vacuum pipe. The bandwidth of the IPU and the amplifier is set above 200 MHz to let pass, with low distortion, the 20-140 ns pulse train signal induced from the beam. Also, its expected resolution at maximum current is 5μm. This paper reports on the design, construction as well as testing and calibration processes of two IPU prototypes. They will be installed in the Test Beam Line (TBL) of the 3rd CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) at CERN by Spring 2008.
