\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 The  point at which the scattering timescale exceeds200 ns becomes the maximum DM for which we can achieve the timing resolution requirements laid out in  the timescale implied by  new versions of SKA1-SYS\_REQ-2961 and SKA1-SYS\_REQ-2962 from (see above) ultimately determines  the top of this document. maximum DM that must be supported by the SKA PST.
