The QUIJOTE experiment is a reference project for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) research at the IAC. It started operations in 2012. Currently and in the coming years, key investments are being made to improve and expand its technical capabilities, thus consolidating the scientific leadership of the CMB experiments located at Teide Observatory
Since the 1980s the Instrumentation Division has been developing instrumentation and experiments in the microwave range with the main objective of characterizing the radiation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (FCM) and other processes of galactic and extra-galactic emission.
