The LFI performance are summarized in Table 1 below. All the details can be found in the LFI data processing paper Planck-2013-II[1].

Table 1. LFI performance parameters
Parameter 30 GHz 44 GHz 70 GHz
Center frequency [GHz] 28.4 44.1 70.4
Scanning beam FWHM[math]^{\rm a}[/math] [arcmin] 33.10 27.94 13.08
Scanning beam ellipticity[math]^{\rm a}[/math] 1.37 1.25 1.27

White noise level in map[math]^{\rm c}[/math] [[math]\mu[/math]K[math]_{CMB}[/math]] *TBD *TBD *TBD
White noise level in timelines[math]^{\rm d}[/math] [[math]\mu[/math]K[math]_{CMB} \;s^{1/2}[/math]] 148.1 174.2 152.0

[math]^{\rm a}[/math] Determined by fitting Jupiter observations directly in the timelines.

[math]^{\rm b}[/math] Calculated from the main beam solid angle of the effective beam, [math]\Omega_{\rm eff} = \hbox{mean}(\Omega)[/math]. These values are used in the source extraction pipeline Planck-2013-XXVIII[2].

[math]^{\rm c}[/math] White noise per pixel computed from half-ring difference maps. These values are within 1% of the white noise sensitivity computed directly on the timelines, taking into account the actual integration time represented in the maps.

[math]^{\rm d}[/math] Values derived from fitting noise spectra.

[math]^{\rm e}[/math] Sum of the error on the estimation of the calibration constant (0.25 %) and the square root of the squared sum of the following errors: beam uncertainty; sidelobe convolution effect; and unknown systematics as measured from the power spectrum at [math]50 \lt \ell \lt 250 [/math] (see Planck-2013-V[3].

[math]^{\rm f}[/math] Peak-to-peak difference between 99% and 1% quantities in the pixel value distributions from simulated maps (see Planck-2013-III[4].
