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…
Planck pre-launch status: Low Frequency Instrument calibration and expected scientific performance
A. Mennella, M. Bersanelli, R. C. Butler +83
We give the calibration and scientific performance parameters of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) measured during the ground cryogenic test campaign. These parameters char…
Planck pre-launch status: Design and description of the Low Frequency Instrument
M. Bersanelli, N. Mandolesi, R. C. Butler +109
In this paper we present the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI), designed and developed as part of the Planck space mission, the ESA program dedicated to precision imaging of the cosmi…
