LFI characteristic internal frequencies.Fig. 23. Schematics of the cryoharness serving HEMT biasing, phaseswitch biasing, and temperature sensors. Heat loads on the 20 K stageare minimised by intercepting heat with the V-grooves.compression (by a factor of 2.4 for at least the 95% of thepackets) performed in the REBA SPU (Sect. 4.5), the sciencedata volume is 36.12 Kbps, increased to 37.88 Kbps by packetingoverheads. An additional contribution of up to 5.06 Kbpscomes from the so-called “calibration channel”: for diagnosticpurposes, one LFI channel at a time will be transmitted to theground without compression. Adding 2.57 Kbps of housekeepingleads to a total budget of 45.41 Kbps for LFI, well withinthe allocated 53.5 Kbps (see Table 12). It is critical that the (average)2.4 compression factor be achieved with an essentiallylossless process, which requires careful optimisation of the parametersthat control the on-board compression algorithm in theSPU (Maris et al. 2009). After telemetry transmission, the datawill be treated through LFI DPC “Level 1” (Zacchei et al. 2009)for real-time assessment, housekeeping monitoring, and data decompression.Then the time-order information (TOI) will beν Origin Unit1Hz ...........
