  The SwissFEL Injector Test Facility is destined for demonstrating electron beam parameters that are suitable for FEL operation. Of particular interest is the on-line measurement of longitudinal phase space properties, as this provides insight into the bunch compression process. The spectral distribution of diffraction radiation offers a robust way to assess bunch length and longitudinal profile. The bunch length at the SwissFEL Injector Test Facility can be varied by changing the photocathode laser. Diffraction radiation is emitted as the electron bunches pass through a hole in a titanium foil. The emitted Terahertz radiation has been simulated by the code THz Transport, and the propagation to the detectors has been modeled.
