Results of the self-calibration simulation for the diagonal terms of the Jones matrix of the half-wave plate. We show the residual error (in blue) on these parameters as a function of the measuring time spent on each baseline on the calibration mode. The red line represents a power law of the shape with NET the noise equivalent temperature of the bolometers, T the temperature of the polarized source, and tb the measuring time spent on each baseline. This law gives the limit of the relative accuracy that can be achieved on the systematic parameters according to the measuring time spent per baseline. The green line represents the input error on the systematic effects of the half-wave plate in the simulation given in Table 1.
