  Digital Beam Position Monitor (DBPM) processor, designed to measure the beam positions in the LINAC, booster and the storage ring of a particle accelerator, has been used in many synchrotron radiation facilities. Channels asymmetry, which deteriorates the performance of the DBPM, is inevitable since the RF front-end needs four exactly same blocks. Recently, an RF front-end board for DBPM has been made with calibration circuit which clears the switching noise. The calibration method will be described in detail, including an overview of the RF board. The beam current dependence, which is sensitive to channels asymmetry, decreases from 160μm to 25μm after the calibration in the lab test.
