Detection of the extremely faint B-mode polarization pattern in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), imprinted from a stochastic background of gravitational waves left over from the proposed inflationary era in the early universe, has become a leading goal of the CMB community. Essential to this question is a more sophisticatedunderstanding of the obscuring galactic foreground emission. Recent Planck results have
shown that higher frequency measurements (above 100 GHz) are more contaminated by
complicated thermal dust emission than anticipated. Meanwhile, lower frequency measurements where synchrotron dominates is less well measured and is critical to effective
foreground removal techniques. Polaris, described in this dissertation, measures the polarized synchrotron component at 10 GHz. Funding was supplied by the Niels Bohr
Institute and Villum foundation to be the first cosmological or astrophysical experiment
to deploy to Summit Station, Greenland. Polaris was successfully operated at Summit
Station for seven weeks starting in June 2018, and shipped back to California in August
2018, where the remainder of telescope maintenance, characterization, and observations
were conducted. This thesis describes the results of these measurements, their implications, and the needed future improvements for more comprehensive surveys.
