  Beam position monitoring (BPM) systems are the workhorse beam diagnostics for almost any kind of charged particle accelerator; linear, circular or transport-lines, operating with leptons, hadrons or heavy ions. The BPMs are essential for beam commissioning, accelerator fault analysis and trouble shooting, machine optics and lattice measurements, and finally for the accelerator optimization to achieve the ultimate beam quality. This presentation summarizes the efforts of the beam instrumentation community on recent developments and advances on BPM technologies, i.e. BPM pickup monitors and front-end electronics (analog and digital). Principles, examples, and state-of-the-art status on various BPM techniques are outlined, serving hadron and heavy ion machines, sync light synchrotron's, as well as electron linacs for FEL or HEP applications.

A beam position monitor (BPM) upgrade at the KEK Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) damping ring has been accomplished, carried out by a KEK/FNAL/SLAC collaboration under the umbrella of the global ILC R&D effort. The upgrade consists of a high resolution, high reproducibility read-out system, based on analog and digital down-conversion techniques, digital signal processing, and also implements a new automatic gain error correction schema. The technical concept and realization as well as results of beam studies are presented.
