Characteristic strain (hc) as a function of observed frequency (f). The upper panel shows a binary with ℳ ∼ 108.5 M⊙ and the observed Keplerian frequency fk ∼ 10−8 Hz; while the lower panel shows a binary of ℳ ∼ 1010 M⊙ and fk ∼ 10−9.5 Hz outside the SKA PTA sensitivity curve. In each panel, blue, orange, and purple lines represent the root mean square of the sGWB generated by all the models with e0 = 0, 0.5 and 0.9, respectively. The black line corresponds to the sensitivity curve of SKA PTA (white and red noise) 30-year data. The colored dots represent how the signal of an MBHB is distributed across different frequencies when the eccentricity is varied between 0, 0.5 and 0.9.
