\section{Objectives}\label{sec:obj}
This section aims to include array performance objectives that might be influenced by design variables in \S~\ref{sec:var}.
\subsection{Brightness Sensitivity Limit}
An overall measure of performance is the System Equivalent Flux Density, $SEFD$, defined
in \cite{sensitivity} as the flux density of a source that would deliver the same amount of power:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:system_equivalent_flux_density}
SEFD = {\frac{T_{sys}}{\frac{\eta_a A}{2k_B}}}
\end{equation}
in units of Janskys where $T_{sys}$ is the system temperature including contributions from receiver noise, feed losses, spillover, atmospheric emission, galactic background and cosmic background, and $k_B = 1.380 \times 10^{-23}$ Joule $K^{-1}$ is the Boltzmann
constant (see \cite{sensitivity}).
If constant.
According to \cite{sensitivity}, if we assume N apertures with the same $SEFD$, observing the same bandwidth $\Delta\nu$, during the same integration time $t_{int}$, 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{(N(N-1) \Delta \nu t_{int}}}}
\end{equation}
in units of Janskys per synthesized beam area, with $\eta_s$ most important factor being
$\eta_c$ (see \cite{sensitivity}). correlator efficiency $\eta_c$.
