Pulse-by-pulse measurement of X-ray beam is import issue for the 3rd generation light sources in order not only to stabilize X-ray beam in an experimental hutch but also to diagnose electron beam in a storage ring. A new pulse-by-pulse X-ray beam monitor equipped with microstripline structure has been developed. The detector head has the microstripline structure. The impedance of the detector head is matched to 50 ohm. Thermodynamics of the detector head is also well considered against severe heat load. The advantage of this monitor is that output signal is short and unipolar pulse, so front-end electronics can be simplified. The feasibility tests have been demonstrated at the X-ray beamline of SPring-8 in the term of (1) pulse intensity monitor, (2) pulse-by-pulse X-ray beam position monitor, and (3) the pulse-timing monitor. Then, we have improved the structure of the detector head in order to sophisticate the function as the pulse timing monitor. As a result, we successfully removed the ringing parts of output signal, and demonstrated that this monitor can be used as the timing monitor. We also describe a new scheme for beam diagnostics using this monitor.
