  The Libera Single Pass H is the new instrumentation intended for phase, position and charge monitoring in hadron and heavy ion LINACs and transfer lines. Initial measurements and verification of the instrumentation performance were conducted in the laboratory at Instrumentation Technologies. Characterization measurements of the same electronics were later carried out at CIEMAT laboratory. The measurements were performed on a CIEMAT wire test bench with the 175 MHz pulsed signal connected to the wire. Different measurements were performed on the test bench; First, by moving the wire over larger displacements and checking the position and, later, by changing the signal phase and performing the phase shift measurement. This article discusses the new Libera Single Pass H electronics, the tests carried out in the test bench and the performance obtained.

The IFMIF-EVEDA accelerator will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA CW deuteron accelerator which aims to validate the technology that will be used in the future IFMIF accelerator. In the Medium Energy Beam Transport line (MEBT) connecting the RFQ and the MEBT, non-interceptive Beam Position Monitors pickups (MBPMs) will measure the transverse position and phase in order to maximize the transport efficiency of the beamline. The response of the MBPMs must be optimized for a beam current for 5 MeV, and a peak beam current of 125 mA. Due to the lack of space in the MEBT, the MBPMs will be located inside the magnets. The MBPMs will have to fit inside the magnets without perturbing the magnetic field. In this contribution, the electromagnetic and mechanical design of the MBPM will be presented. In addition, in order to validate and characterize all the BPMs type of IFMIF/EVEDA once they are manufactured, a wire test bench has been constructed and verified at CIEMAT. The design and validation results of the test bench will be discussed.
