Notes. Parameters include survey degradation factor β, telescope gain G, pointing time tpoint, sampling time tsamp, receiver temperature Trec, central frequency νc, bandwidth BW, channel bandwidth BWch, number of polarisations npol, field of view (FoV), minimum S/N, observatory latitude ϕ, observatory longitude λ, mount type, and then the minimum to maximum right ascension α, declination δ, Galactic longitude l, and Galactic latitude b. Greyed-out values indicate an estimated or average value, or a value obtained through private communication. We note that many future surveys have parameters that are still subject to change.
