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…
LFI 30 and 44 GHz receivers Back-End Modules
E. Artal, B. Aja, M. L. de la Fuente +19
The 30 and 44 GHz Back End Modules (BEM) for the Planck Low Frequency Instrument are broadband receivers (20% relative bandwidth) working at room temperature. The signals coming fr…
Design, development and verification of the 30 and 44 GHz front-end modules for the Planck Low Frequency Instrument
R. J. Davis, A. Wilkinson, R. D. Davies +28
We give a description of the design, construction and testing of the 30 and 44 GHz Front End Modules (FEMs) for the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) of the Planck mission to be launc…
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…
Thermal susceptibility of the Planck-LFI receivers
L Terenzi, M J Salmon, A Colin +33
This paper is part of the Prelaunch status LFI papers published on JINST: http://www.iop.org/EJ/journal/-page=extra.proc5/jinst . This paper describes the impact of the Planck Low…
The linearity response of the Planck-LFI flight model receivers
A. Mennella, F. Villa, L. Terenzi +37
In this paper we discuss the linearity response of the Planck-LFI receivers, with particular reference to signal compression measured on the 30 and 44 GHz channels. In the article…
