Planck early results. III. First assessment of the Low Frequency Instrument in-flight performance
A. Mennella, M. Bersanelli, R. C. Butler +158
The scientific performance of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) after one year of in-orbit operation is presented. We describe the main optical parameters and discuss photo…
Planck pre-launch status: calibration of the Low Frequency Instrument flight model radiometers
F. Villa, L. Terenzi, M. Sandri +71
The Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) on-board the ESA Planck satellite carries eleven radiometer subsystems, called Radiometer Chain Assemblies (RCAs), each composed of a pair of pse…
Design, development, and verification of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument 70 GHz Front-End and Back-End Modules
J. Varis, N. J. Hughes, M. Laaninen +26
70 GHz radiometer front-end and back-end modules for the Low Frequency Instrument of the European Space Agencys Planck Mission were built and tested. The operating principles and t…
Advanced modelling of the Planck-LFI radiometers
P. Battaglia, C. Franceschet, A . Zonca +22
The Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) is a radiometer array covering the 30-70 GHz spectral range on-board the ESA Planck satellite, launched on May 14th, 2009 to observe the cosmic m…
