====== Noise Modeling for CMB Probe ====== Roger O'Brient This page summarizes work on TDM noise models. We should probably create one page for noise models of both TDM and FDM flavors, for one-stop-shopping. We could edit this page to add in FDM computations as well. What's done so far: * Loading model constructed, applied to 30K Primary * Computed bolometer Gs & taus * Ploted NEI vs frequency * Computed NEP white-noise plateau * Compared to B2/Keck Data * 1/f noise study (emperical results, pulled from the literature) To do: * adjust the sampling frequency and nyquist inductors to study how aliased noise changes * Repeat analysis for 4K primary (?) Also repeat analysis for more realistic loads from window and filters, whose loading will not be negligable. * Generalize to higher MUX factors * Make plots of noise vs stage temp and optics for Chris' cryo design. * Form focal plane mass estimates for Chris' cryo design. Slide decks for public discussion: * {{::Noise_for_CMB_Probe_v2.pdf|Imager Telecon 20170919, TDM noise Study}} * {{::flicker_noise_CMB_probe.pdf|Imager Telecon 20170919, 1/f noise Study}} Note: slides are a funny way to add content to a wiki, but since they lend themselves well to JPL's document release protocol, I will put most technical content in that form.
