摘要:

低频仪器(LFI)是普朗克卫星上的伪相关辐射计阵列,这是欧空局专门用于精确测量宇宙微波背景的任务。LFI覆盖了以30、44和70 GHz为中心的三个频段,目标带宽为中心频率的20%。每个辐射计的宽带频率响应的特性是必要的,以了解和纠正系统的影响,特别是那些与前景残差和偏振测量。在本文中,我们提出了所有的LFI信道的测量频带形状,并讨论了其估计所采用的方法。通过LFI接收器方案的专用RF模型将各个单元的测量光谱响应结合起来,获得每个辐射计的光谱特性。作为一致性检查,我们还尝试在低温室中对集成辐射计链进行端到端光谱测量。然而,由于测量设置中的系统效应,从这些测试中仅获得定性结果。测得的LFI带通表现出中等水平的纹波,与仪器的科学要求兼容。

英文摘要:

The Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) is an array of pseudo-correlation radiometers on board the Planck satellite, the ESA mission dedicated to precision measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background. The LFI covers three bands centred at 30, 44 and 70 GHz, with a goal bandwidth of 20% of the central frequency. The characterization of the broadband frequency response of each radiometer is necessary to understand and correct for systematic effects, particularly those related to foreground residuals and polarization measurements. In this paper we present the measured band shape of all the LFI channels and discuss the methods adopted for their estimation. The spectral characterization of each radiometer was obtained by combining the measured spectral response of individual units through a dedicated RF model of the LFI receiver scheme. As a consistency check, we also attempted end-to-end spectral measurements of the integrated radiometer chain in a cryogenic chamber. However, due to systematic effects in the measurement setup, only qualitative results were obtained from these tests. The measured LFI bandpasses exhibit a moderate level of ripple, compatible with the instrument scientific requirements.
