1 INTER_SENSITIVITY Compute sensitivity of an interferometer
        INTER_SENSITIVITY

    Compute sensitivity of an interferometer to point and extended sources.

2 FREQ$
        TASK\REAL "Frequency [GHz]"                  FREQ$

    Observed frequency.

2 BANDWIDTH$
        TASK\REAL "Bandwidth [MHz]"                  BANDWIDTH$

    Spectral resolution.

2 TSYS$
        TASK\REAL "Tsys [K]"                         TSYS$

    System temperature at the observed frequency.

2 DECORREL$
        TASK\REAL "Decorrelation coefficient"        DECORREL$

    Decorrelation coefficient (product of atmospheric and correlator quanti‐
    zation decorrelation).

2 ONTIME$
        TASK\REAL "On‐source integration time [hrs]" ONTIME$

    On‐source integration time (you must sum‐up the time spent on  all  con‐
    figurations). Be careful, you must estimate and add the off‐source inte‐
    gration time to get the total time needed to obtain a given sensitivity.
    At Bure a large fraction of time is spent off‐source for calibration.

2 NANT$
        TASK\INTE "Number of available antennas"     NANT$

    Number of available antennas in the interferometer array.

2 ANTEFF$
        TASK\REAL "Antenna efficiency [Jy/K]"        ANTEFF$

    Mean efficiency of antennas.

2 BEAM$
        TASK\REAL "Beam [arcsec]"                    BEAM$[2]

    Expected resolution of the observation (major x minor Gaussian axis).
