\end{tabular}   \end{table}  \\   Figure \ref{fig:scattering_timescales} shows the best-case scattering broadening as a function of DM for lowest frequency of each band/configuration (i.e. the frequency at which scattering will have the largest effect). Given that coherent dedispersion allows us to remove all dispersive smearing down to the Nyquist limit, scattering can be viewed as the limiting factor on timing resolution and thus the point at which the scattering timescale exceeds 200 ns becomes the maximum DM for which we can achieve the timing resolution requirements laid out in the original versions of  SKA1-SYS\_REQ-2961 and SKA1-SYS\_REQ-2962. SKA1-SYS\_REQ-2962 from the top of this document.
