\section{Performance Objectives}
This section aims to include all the array performance objectives that might be influenced by design choices.
\subsection{Minimize Brightness Sensitivity Limit}
It is often instructive to express the system temperature in terms of the System Equivalent Flux Density, $SEFD$, defined as the flux density of a source that would deliver the same amount of power (see \cite{sensitivity2}):
\begin{equation}\label{eq:system_equivalent_flux_density}
SEFD = {\frac{T_{sys}}{\frac{\eta_a A}{2k_B}}}
\end{equation}
where $T_{sys}$ is the system temperature including contributions from receiver noise, feed losses, spillover, atmospheric emission, galactic background and cosmic background, $k_B = 1.380 \times 10^{-23}$ Joule $K^{-1}$ is the Boltzmann constant, $A$ is the antenna collecting area (thus we could also write $\pi \cdot D^2$), and $\eta_a$ is the antenna efficiency with $\eta_a = \eta_{\text{surface efficiency}} \cdot \eta_{\text{aperture blockage}} \cdot \eta_{\text{feed spillover efficiency}} \cdot \eta_{\text{illumination taper efficiency}}$ (see \cite{antenna}).
If we assume each aperture has the same $SEFD$, observes the same bandwidth $\Delta\nu$, during the same correlator accumulation time $\tau_{acc}$, then the weak-source limit in the sensitivity of a synthesis image of a single polarization is
\begin{equation}\label{eq:sens}
\Delta I_m = {\frac{1}{\eta_s }}{\frac{SEFD}{\sqrt{2 \Delta \nu \tau_{acc}}}}
\end{equation}
in units of Janskys per synthesized beam area.
with $\eta_s$ most important factor being correlator efficiency $\eta_c = \frac{\text{correlator sensitivity}}{\text{sesitivity of a perfect analog correlator having the same } \tau_{acc}}$ (see \cite{sensitivity}).
