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…
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 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…
Planck pre-launch status: the Planck-LFI programme
N. Mandolesi, M. Bersanelli, R. C. Butler +140
This paper provides an overview of the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) programme within the ESA Planck mission. The LFI instrument has been developed to produce high precision maps…
