Abstract
Possible instrumental set--ups for the measurement of CMB polarization are reviewed in this article. We discuss existing and planned instruments, putting special emphasis on observational, instrumental, and data processing issues for the detection of very low polarization signals of prime cosmological interest. A short prospective summary is included.
