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…
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…
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…
Design, development, and verification of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument 70 GHz Front-End and Back-End Modules
J. Varis, N. J. Hughes, M. Laaninen +26
70 GHz radiometer front-end and back-end modules for the Low Frequency Instrument of the European Space Agencys Planck Mission were built and tested. The operating principles and t…
