4.4.3 Observing with the MK-CA baseline at 6-7 GHz

The sensitivity is $\approx180$ mJy in a 15-kHz spectral channel after 5 min of on-source integration in all four Stokes parameters. At the maximum 16 MHz bandwidth 64 spectral channels are available; for each factor of two reduction in bandwidth bandwidth (8, 4,... MHz), twice as many channels are possible (128, 256,...) up to a maximum number of 1024 channels in 1, 0.5 or 0.25 MHz bandwidths.
