We present the performance of the cavity beam position monitor (BPM) system for the LCLS undulator. The construction and installation phase of 34 BPMs for the undulator and 2 for the transport line have been completed. The X-band cavity BPM employs a TM010 monopole reference cavity and a TM110 dipole cavity designed to operate at a center frequency of 11.384 GHz. The signal processing electronics features a low-noise single-stage three-channel heterodyne receiver that has selectable gain and a phase locking local oscillator. The approximately 40 MHz IF is digitized by a 120M sample/second four-channel 16-bit digitizer. System requirements include sub-micron position resolution for a single-bunch beam charge of 200 pC. We discuss the system specifications and commissioning results.

The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) begins operation this year with 83 new stripline beam position monitor (BPM) processors. System requirements include several-micron position resolution for single-bunch beam charge of 200 pC. We describe the processing scheme, system specifications, commissioning experience, and performance measurements.
