This article presents an experimental and theoretical investigation of the sensitivity to mechanical disturbances of a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer, the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer, currently orbiting around Mars onboard ESA Mars Express orbiter. A theoretical analysis has been performed in order to highlight the expected effects of the vibrations, then laboratory tests have been designed and carried out for instrument characterization. The two classical types of disturbance effects were expected in the case of mechanical vibrations: the interfering type, leading to an additive contribution to the interferograms, and the modifying type, which changes the interferometer sensitivity. Both effects have been evidenced in the experimental tests and the instrument sensitivity derived; moreover, the effects on the spectra, which are the Fourier transform of interferograms, are highlighted and characterized. The effects of both harmonic and random broadband spectrum disturbances have been considered...
