A Stripline type BPM is designed and fabricated at ESSB. In order to compare, in the future, the functionality and response of the previous BPM capacitive pick-ups design with stripline, a design for stripline BPM is proposed. The design is based on travelling wave electrodes principles to detect the transverse position of the beam in the vacuum chamber. In the design of stripline setup, it has been considered to keep the comparison conditions with pick-ups as similar as possible. The length of strip electrodes is 200 mm and the coverage angle is 0.952 rad. The structure is rotationally pi/2 symmetric and the alignment of electrodes are pi/4, 3pi/, 5pi/4 and 7pi/4. The design is optimized for a frequency of 352 MHz, however it can function on a wide range of frequencies out coming from the measurement results. Striplines in general have well defined behavior even for low beta and low intensity beams as well as functionality at low and high frequencies. A report on the design and characteristics measurement of Stripline will be presented. The characteristics like frequency range, electrodes insulation, electrode response, sensitivities to beam power and position will be presented.
