  We have implemented the signal processing needed to derive the transverse beam position and the beam phase from the signals of a four electrodes BPM block on a FPGA (field programmable gate array). The high processing rate of a FPGA allows taking the full benefit of the high data acquisition rate of the most recent ADC circuits. In addition, it is possible to implement on a FPGA a processing algorithm exactly tailored to the measurement of the beam parameters. The efficiency of the signal processing has also been improved by a careful choice of the frequency of the sampling clock and of the RF front-end local oscillator, which are derived from the storage ring RF frequency. This paper describes the BPM, the RF front-end electronics and the FPGA algorithm. It presents some of the application of this BPM at ESRF and gives measurement results.
