Abstract
The Simons Observatory is a suite of instruments sensitive to temperature and polarization of the cosmic microwave background. Five telescopes will host over 60,000 highly multiplexed transition edge sensor (TES) detectors. The universal focal plane modules (UFMs) package multichroic TES detectors with microwave multiplexing electronics compatible with all five receivers. The low-frequency arrays are lenslet-coupled sinuous antennas sensitive to 30 and 40 GHz. The mid-frequency and ultra-high-frequency UFMs are horn-coupled orthomode transducer arrays sensitive to 90/150 GHz and 225/280 GHz, respectively. Here we present the design, assembly details, and initial results of the first UFM.
