Abstract

We discuss the applicability and derivation of window functions for cosmic microwave background experiments on large and intermediate angular scales. These window functions describe the response of the experiment to power in a particular mode of the fluctuation spectrum. We give general formulae, illustrated with specific examples, for the most common observing strategies.Comment: 12 pages in Plain Tex, UCSBTH--94--03, CfPA--94--TH--1
