Description
In this paper we present the test results of the qualification model
(QM) of the LFI instrument, which is being developed as part of the ESA
Planck satellite. In particular we discuss the calibration plan which
has defined the main requirements of the radiometric tests and of the
experimental setups. Then we describe how these requirements have been
implemented in the custom-developed cryo-facilities and present the main
results. We conclude with a discussion of the lessons learned for the
testing of the LFI Flight Model (FM).
