The Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) is one of the two instruments onboard the ESA Planck satellite. LFI will image the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies and the polarization status in four different bands, from 30 GHz to 100 GHz, with an array of 54 radiometers. The characteristics of the instrument are reported, underlining the ability of LFI to perform polarization measurements.

Abstract
The Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) is one of the two instruments onboard the ESA Planck satellite. LFI will image the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies and the polarization status in four different bands, from 30 GHz to 100 GHz, with an array of 54 radiometers. The characteristics of the instrument are reported, underlining the ability of LFI to perform polarization measurements.
