Descripción
The QUIJOTE-CMB experiment (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife CMB experiment) is an
ambitious project to obtain polarization measurements of the sky
microwave emission in the 10 to 47 GHz range. With this aim, a pair of
2,5μm telescopes and three instruments are being sited at the Teide
Observatory, in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain). The first telescope
and the first instrument (the MFI: Multi Frequency Instrument) are both
already operating in the band from 10 to 20 GHz, since November 2012.
The second telescope and the second instrument (TGI: Thirty GHz
instrument) is planned to be in commissioning by the end of summer 2014,
covering the range of 26 to 36 GHz. After that, a third instrument named
FGI (Forty GHz instrument) will be designed and manufactured to complete
the sky survey in the frequency range from 37 to 47 GHz. In this paper
we present an overview of the whole project current status, from the
technical point of view.
