  The cavity Beam Position Monitor (BPM) is a fundamental instrument for a seeded FEL, as FERMI@elettra. It allows the measurement of the bunch trajectory non-destructively, on a shot-by shot basis and with sub-micron resolution. The high resolution the cavity BPM is providing relies on the excitation of the dipole mode, originated when the bunch passes off axis in the cavity. Here we present the electromagnetic (EM) design and the cold test of the prototype BPM developed for the FERMI@elettra. The design adopted a C-band cavity with its dipole mode at fDIP=6.5GHz. The prototype is actually fitted with two cavities: one for the position measurement and one for the generation of the reference signal for the demodulator. Furthermore, the design of the prototype electronics for the acquisition and processing of the BPM signals is presented. The adopted scheme consists of a down converter from C-band to the intermediate frequency, followed by an IQ demodulator to generate the base-band signal, proportional to the transverse beam position. The performed simulation session is presented as well which we run before building the hardware for bench tests.
