  Libera Bunch by Bunch is the digital processing unit for a bunch by bunch feedback system. The upgraded unit has a DSP core application featuring a 16 tap filter for each bunch. DSP processing is organized in 4 chains, following the HW implementation of A/D conversion. Besides setting of FIR filter coefficients in each processing chain, one bunch per chain can have different FIR filter coefficients and provides an option for 4 single bunch processing. All FIR filter coefficients are double buffered. Delays maximally equal to a revolution period are implemented before and after the FIR block. As an additional feature, a phase shift block is introduced that precisely shifts the phase of the output signal in the vicinity of a determined frequency. The core application is accompanied with a Matlab GUI, with an additional window for data acquisition. This system accompanied by a Front End unit provides a complete solution for combating multi bunch beam instabilities. A detailed description and results are presented.
