Planck LFI is an instrument designed to be operative in space.
It is aimed to detect micro waves comingfrom deep space.
With reference to this memory, it is characterised by a number of sensors (feed horns) which must be carefully aligned with a target point.
The following pictures give an overall sight of the instrument and some details of the sensor pack.

The orientation of each reference frame and the position of its origin can be described in any reference frame by one 4x4 matrix, keeping into account rotations and translations at the same time.

The shown uncertainty causes produce a modification of the orientation of the L1 ref. frame as regards the A1 ref. frame (2 & 3) and a translation of the L1 origin in the A1 ref. frame (1).
There are further uncertainty contributions relating the uncertainty connected to the theoretical position of the PC: they influence the components of the position vector for the PC in the L1 ref. frame.

Using the Monte-Carlo simulation technique, for each uncertainty contribution, a series of N values is generated within the range of values defined by the considered tolerance (suitable distribution function).
A series of N vectors, representing the N different situations is found, in consequence of the considered tolerances.
For each situation (vector), the rotation-translations matrixes are computed.

Three angles, defining the orientation of the feed horn, are extracted from the total M rotation-translations matrix.
The position of the PC in the absolute ref. frame is obtained by multiplying the M matrix per the VPC1 vector.
The three found rotations and the the three found translations give the FH space location.

The six degrees of freedom (position of the PC, orientation of the FH axis) of the FH are considered as random variables.
For each random variable a series of N possible numerical values has been obtained by the previously explained method.
Starting from the N values (constituting a sample), available for each variable, a proper probability distribution can be computed for this (its parameters are estimated). So a mean value and a standard deviation are calculated for the six degrees of freedom.

General statistical method based on the Monte Carlo simulation technique for the uncertainty estimation
Can be adopted for: uncertainty estimations, sensitivity analysis, quality evaluation of design
Generality: non-linear problems, multi-output problems, whatever kind of probability distribution function
Improvements: adaptive Monte Carlo, closed-loop geometry structures
