\section{Overview} \section{Overview}\label{sec:intro}  This document presents a parametric model to help design an Interferometric Array. It describes the design parameters in \ref{variables} \S~\ref{var}  and the system performance objectives in \ref{objectives}, \S~\ref{obj},  and the relationship between them. A python code used to generate data in the format required for visual analysis of array design options performance is presented in \ref{array-performance-data-generation---python-implementation}. \S~\ref{python}.  The python code is consistent with parameters and objectives selection in sections 2 and 3, and the mathematical relationships between them. \section{Variables} \section{Variables}\label{sec:var}  This section aims to include all relevant design parameters that might influence the selected performance objectives in section 4.  \subsection{Antenna Aspects}  \subsubsection{Collecting Area}
