Signal to Noise

The rms noise can be computed from

\begin{displaymath}
\sigma = \frac{J_{\rm pK} T_{\rm sys}} {\eta \sqrt{N_{\rm a...
...m a}-1)
N_{\rm c} T_{\rm ON} B}} \frac{1}{\sqrt{N_{\rm pol}}}
\end{displaymath} (1)

where

Investigators have to specify the one sigma noise level which is necessary to achieve each individual goal of a proposal, and particularly for projects aiming at deep integrations.
