Abstract
The
design of a CMB instrument, either ground-based, balloon-born or
space-born, is a complex process that needs numerous instrument global
trade-offs. In the first lecture, I will give a flavor of some major
trade-offs in terms of detectors, optics, cryogenics and orbits. In the
second lecture, I will describe the CMB detectors which have currently
the highest Technology Readiness Level: Transition Edge Sensors (TESs)
and Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs).
