The Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) injector test accelerator is an integrated systems test for the front-end of a proposed continuous-wave (CW) compatible, pulsed H superconducting RF linac. This linac is part of Fermilab's PIP-II upgrade. This injector test accelerator will help minimize the technical risk elements for PIP-II and validate the concept of the front-end. Major goals of the injector accelerator are to test a CW RFQ and H source, a bunch-by-bunch Medium-Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) beam chopper and stable beam acceleration through low-energy superconducting cavities. Operation and characterization of this injector places stringent demands on the types and performance of the accelerator beam diagnostics. A beam position monitor (BPM) system has been developed for this application and early commissioning measurements have been taken of beam transport through the beamline.

  The readout electronics for the resonant beam position monitors (BPMs) in the Fermilab Switchyard (SY) have been upgraded, utilizing a low noise amplifier transition board and Fermilab designed digitizer boards. The stripline BPMs are estimated to have an average signal output of between -110 dBm and -80 dBm, with an esti-mated peak output of -70 dBm. The external resonant circuit is tuned to the SY machine frequency of 53.10348 MHz. Both the digitizer and transition boards have vari-able gain in order to accommodate the large dynamic range and irregularity of the resonant extraction spill. These BPMs will aid in auto-tuning of the SY beamline as well as enabling operators to monitor beam position through the spill.
