    Abstract

    The High-Frequency Instrument (HFI) for the Planck Surveyor mission will measure anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) down to scales of 6 arcmin and to an accuracy of ΔT/T = 2×10-6. Channels ranging in frequency from 100 to 857 GHz will use 100 mK spider web bolometer detectors with NTD Ge thermistors. The detectors must be photon noise limited and fast enough to preserve signal information at the 1 r.p.m. scan rate of the satellite. The prime low-frequency CMB channels at 143 and 217 GHz are the most technically demanding owing to the lower background limited NEPs. For the 143 GHz channel the requirements are that the time constant τ
