An overview of the current status of CMB observations
We describe the design and performance of polarization selective antenna-coupled TES arrays that will be used in several upcoming Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments: SPIDER, BICEP-2/SPUD.
Antenna-coupled TES bolometer arrays for CMB polarimetry
On the other hand, BICEP-2 and its successor SPUD will be observing from South Pole mainly through the 2mm and 3mm atmospheric windows.
