摘要：
我们通过将相关的 $1/f^α$ 噪声建模为谐波空间幂律，为参数化最大似然成分分离框架引入了一种噪声感知扩展。该方法解决了现有实现的一个关键局限：对噪声统计性质的错误建模可能导致谱定律表征出现偏差，进而导致恢复的 CMB 图出现偏差。我们提出了一个基于修正岭似然的新框架，嵌入在系综平均流程中，并推导了解析偏差校正以控制噪声引起的前景残差。我们讨论了该方法在缺乏真实噪声信息情况下的实际应用，从而选择白噪声作为现实假设。作为概念验证，我们将该方法应用于一组受拟议的 ECHO（CMB-Bhārat）任务规格启发的简化理想化模拟，该任务具有多频率、大尺寸焦平面。我们在一系列现实噪声场景下预测了张量-标量比 $r_{95}$ 的 $95\\%$ 上限。我们的结果表明，对于乐观的全天观测，即使存在显著的相关噪声，ECHO 也能实现 $r_{95}\leq 10^{-4}$，展示了该任务以前所未有的灵敏度探测原初引力波的能力。在不降低传统成分分离统计性能的情况下，该方法为下一代 B 模搜寻提供了一条稳健的路径，并通过量化噪声相关性对宇宙学参数恢复的影响为仪器设计提供信息。
英文摘要：
We introduce a noise-aware extension to the parametric maximum-likelihood framework for component separation by modeling correlated $1/f^α$ noise as a harmonic-space power law. This approach addresses a key limitation of existing implementations, for which a mismodelling of the statistical properties of the noise can lead to biases in the characterization of the spectral laws, and consequently biases in the recovered CMB maps. We propose a novel framework based on a modified ridge likelihood embedded in an ensemble-average pipeline and derive an analytic bias correction to control noise-induced foreground residuals. We discuss the practical applications of this approach in the absence of true noise information, leading to the choice of white noise as a realistic assumption. As a proof of concept, we apply this methodology to a set of simplified, idealized simulations inspired by the specifications of the proposed ECHO (CMB-Bh$\overline{a}$rat) mission, which features multi-frequency, large-format focal planes. We forecast the $95 \%$ upper limit on the tensor-to-scalar ratio, $r_{95}$, under a suite of realistic noise scenarios. Our results show that for an optimistic full sky observation, ECHO can achieve $r_{95}\leq 10^{-4}$ even in the presence of significant correlated noise, demonstrating the mission's capability to probe primordial gravitational waves with unprecedented sensitivity. Without degrading the statistical performance of the traditional component separation, this methodology offers a robust path toward next-generation B-mode searches and informs instrument design by quantifying the impact of noise correlations on cosmological parameter recovery.
