Abstract Beam Position Monitor (BPM) is one of the essential elements in a synchrotron facility. It provides the accurate beam positions, which are used to correct the closed orbit distortion. Each BPM is installed with the electronics which enable to acquire the data of the turn-by-turn beam positions. Here, we define the "gain" as the proportionality coefficient between the signal detected at the ADC and the ideal signal without any errors. The signal strength from a BPM electrode varies depending on 1) transmission characteristics of a long cable, 2) processing circuit, and 3) contact resistance at the connected parts. These are the origin of the gain deviations. In order to correct the deviations, a Beam Based Gain Calibration (BBGC) method has been proposed *. Development of a new method for adequate gain calibration is required because any calibration method for routine operation has not been established for BPMs with diagonal-cut electrodes used at J-PARC Main Ring. The results of analysis will be presented using the Total Least Square fitting as an adequate method for the BBGC with sufficient accuracy within 0.6% in one standard deviation.
