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.

Numerical simulation • Using the Monte-Carlo simulation technique, for eachuncertainty contribution, a series of N values is generated within the range of values defined by the considered tolerance (Uniform or normal distribution). • 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. Planck LFI - Feed Horn alignment
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. Planck LFI - Feed Horn alignment
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. Planck LFI - Feed Horn alignment
