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…
Planck-LFI: Design and Performance of the 4 Kelvin Reference Load Unit
Luca Valenziano, Francesco Cuttaia, Adriano De Rosa +35
The LFI radiometers use a pseudo-correlation design where the signal from the sky is continuously compared with a stable reference signal, provided by a cryogenic reference load sy…
The Planck-LFI flight model composite waveguides
O. D'Arcangelo, L. Figini, A. Simonetto +13
The Low Frequency Instrument on board the PLANCK satellite is designed to give the most accurate map ever of the CMB anisotropy of the whole sky over a broad frequency band spannin…
The PLANCK LFI flight model ortho-mode transducers
O. D'Arcangelo, A. Simonetto, L. Figini +10
The Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) of the ESA Planck CMB mission is an array of 22 ultra sensitive pseudocorrelation radiometers working at 30, 44, and 70 GHz. LFI has been calibra…
Planck LFI flight model feed horns
F. Villa, O. D'Arcangelo, M. Pecora +10
this paper is part of the Prelaunch status LFI papers published on JINST: http://www.iop.org/EJ/journal/-page=extra.proc5/jinst The Low Frequency Instrument is optically interfaced…
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…
