Measuring CMB Polarization with ESA PLANCK SubMM-Wave Telescope

Abstract

We analyze the polarization properties of the tilted off-axis dual-reflector submillimeter-wave telescope on the ESA PLANCK Surveyor designed for measuring the temperature anisotropies and polarization characteristics of the cosmic microwave background.
