Notes.

Channel width: δλ2, width of the λ2 distribution: Δλ2, shortest wavelength squared: .

FWHM of the resolution (RMSF) in Φ space: δϕ (rad m−2).

Largest scale in Φ space to which the observation is sensitive: max-scale (rad m−2).

Maximum observable RM (resp. Φ): RMmax (rad m−2) (from Brentjens & de Bruyn 2005).
