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…
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…
Noise Properties of the Planck-LFI Receivers
P. Meinhold, R. Leonardi, B. Aja +47
The Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) radiometers have been tested extensively during several dedicated campaigns. The present paper reports the principal noise properties of t…
Planck-LFI radiometers' spectral response
A Zonca, C Franceschet, P Battaglia +22
The Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) is an array of pseudo-correlation radiometers on board the Planck satellite, the ESA mission dedicated to precision measurements of the Cosmic Mi…
