Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a multi-TeV electron-positron collider for particle physics based on an innovative two-beam acceleration scheme. The CLIC Test Facility 3 (CTF3, CERN) aims to demonstrate feasibility of this concept. The monitoring of a longitudinal profile will be very important for the CLIC. The optimization of the longitudinal charge distribution in a bunch is crucial for the maximisation of the luminosity and also for an optimal performance of a CLIC drive beam. A setup for the investigation of Coherent Diffraction Radiation (CDR) from targets with various configurations as a tool for non-invasive longitudinal electron beam profile diagnostics has been designed and installed in the CRM line of the CTF3 [1, 2]. In this report we present the status of the experiment and results on interferometric measurements of CDR from a single target configuration. Studies on downstream background contribution in the CRM line have been performed. Recently we have upgraded the system by installing a second target. In this report we shall also demonstrate the results on simulations of CDR spatial distribution from the two target configuration. [1] M.
