Summary of the formulas for a single pixel receiver

We summarize here the relations between the rms noise ( \ensuremath{\sigma_\ensuremath{\mathrm{}}}) and the elapsed telescope time ( \ensuremath{t_\ensuremath{\mathrm{tel}}}) derived by Pety et al.  (2009) in the case of a single-pixel heterodyne receiver. The results depends on a combination of

The formulas are In these formulas The demonstrations and additional subtleties for the OTF case are fully described in Pety et al.  (2009).
