By binning the data synchronously,we obtain a template of the disturbance, which allowsits removal in the time-domain (Meinhold et al. 2009). Thefeasibility of this approach has been proven using data acquiredduring the full satellite test campaign in Liege, Belgium duringJuly and August, 2008.Therefore, because the only way to eliminate the disturbancein hardware would be to operate the instrument withoutany housekeeping information, our baseline approach is that, ifnecessary, the residual effect will be removed from the data inthe time domain after measuring the disturbance shape from theflight data.5.3. Radiometric suceptibility to front-end temperatureinstabilitiesThermal fluctuations in the receivers result in gain changes in theamplifiers and noise changes in the (slightly emissive) passivecomponents (e.g., horns, OMTs, waveguides). These changesmimic the effect of changes in sky emission, expecially at fluctuationfrequencies near the satellite spin frequency. The mostimportant source of temperature fluctuations for LFI is the sorptioncooler (Bhandari et al. 2004; Wade et al. 2000).For small temperature fluctuations in the focal plane, the radiometricresponse is linear (Seiffert et al. 2002; Terenzi et al.2009b), so the spurious antenna temperature fluctuation in thedifferential receiver output can be written asδT out = f trans δT phys , (5)(d)Fig. 8. DAE-only and radiometer noise amplitude density spectra inV/ √ Hz (from LFI18S-10 unswitched data) with and without activationof the housekeeping acquisition. These data clearly show that thesource of the disturbance is in the data acquisition electronics box andis correlated with the status of the housekeeping data acquisition.where the transfer function f trans can be estimated analyticallyfrom the differential power output given in Eq. (1):f trans = ∂p out∂T phys(∂pout∂T sky) −1· (6)The analytical form of f trans (discussed in detail in Terenzi et al.2009b) dependsprimarilyonthefront-endamplifiersusceptibilityparameters, ∂G/∂T phys and ∂T noise /∂T phys ,aswellasotherinstrument and boundary condition parameters such as the insertionloss of passive components and the sky input temperature.If we consider the systematic error budget in Bersanelli et al.(2010), it is possible to derive a requirement for the radiometrictransfer function, f trans 0.1, in order to maintain the finalpeak-to-peak error per pixel < ∼ 1 µK (seeAppendixF).
