Sumario:The Preliminary Phase of the new CLIC Test Facility CTF3 consists of a low-charge demonstration of the electron bunch train combination process on which the CLIC drive beam generation scheme is based. The principle of the combination relies on the injection of short electron bunches into an isochronous ring using RF deflecting cavities. The commissioning of this facility started in September 2001, with alternating periods of installation work and beam studies. In this paper, we present the status of the facility, the first beam measurements and the next steps towards the completion of the experiment.
