Paper Abstract
In this paper we present the results of our 176-pixel prototype of the FDM readout system for SAFARI, a TES-based
focal-plane instrument for the far-IR SPICA mission. We have implemented the knowledge obtained from the detailed
study on electrical crosstalk reported previously. The effect of carrier leakage is reduced by a factor two, mutual
impedance is reduced to below 1 nH and mutual inductance is removed. The pixels are connected in stages, one quarter
of the array half of the array and the full array, to resolve intermediate technical issues. A semi-automated procedure was
incorporated to find all optimal settings for all pixels. And as a final step the complete array has been connected and 132
pixels have been read out simultaneously within the frequency range of 1-3.8MHz with an average frequency separation
of 16kHz. The noise was found to be detector limited and was not affected by reading out all pixels in a FDM mode.
With this result the concept of using FDM for multiplexed bolometer read out for the SAFARI instrument has been
demonstrated.
