Notes. β accounts for digitisation losses; Aeff is the effective area; τ is the integration time; Δν is the observing bandwidth; np is the number of polarisations summed; T the system temperature given only for the zenith, where the sky temperature Tsky is included in T. In addition we list the maximum baseline B and the resulting HPBW at the lowest frequency in the band.
