Modeling the frequency response of microwave radiometers with QUCS
Andrea Zonca, Bastien Roucaries, Brian Williams +8
Characterization of the frequency response of coherent radiometric receivers is a key element in estimating the flux of astrophysical emissions, since the measured signal depends o…
A systematic approach to the Planck LFI end-to-end test and its application to the DPC Level 1 pipeline
M. Frailis, M. Maris, A. Zacchei +23
The Level 1 of the Planck LFI Data Processing Centre (DPC) is devoted to the handling of the scientific and housekeeping telemetry. It is a critical component of the Planck ground…
LFI Radiometric Chain Assembly (RCA) data handling "Rachel"
M. Malaspina, E. Franceschi, P. Battaglia +26
This paper is part of the Prelaunch status LFI papers published on JINST (http://www.iop.org/EJ/journal/-page=extra.proc5/1748-0221). Planck's Low Frequency Instrument is an array…
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…
Optimization of Planck/LFI on--board data handling
M. Maris, M. Tomasi, S. Galeotta +34
To asses stability against 1/f noise, the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) onboard the Planck mission will acquire data at a rate much higher than the data rate allowed by its teleme…
Level 1 on-ground telemetry handling in Planck LFI
A. Zacchei, M. Frailis, M. Maris +31
The Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) will observe the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) by covering the frequency range 30-70 GHz in three bands. The primary instrument data s…
