\subsubsection{Trade-off between area and depth in FIRST survey}
The radio band is approximately five decades in wavelength - tens of meters to millimeters. This is too wide to be covered effectively by a single telescope \& / receiver. The specific intensity and angular sizes of radio sources span an even wider range than the radio band a combination of single telescopes \& /receivers and
aperture-synthesis interferometers
are therefore required to for effective detection. who simultaneously achieve a high angular resolution, large field-of-view while keeping in practical design limitations. The basic interferometer is a pair of radio telescopes whose voltage output are correlated (multiplied and
averaged).The averaged). The larger the collecting area of an ideal radio
telescope, telescope - for a given system temperature, the more it can detect faint radio sources. The sensitivity of the
collecting telescope area is given by
σ=(2k_B T_sys)/(A_e 〖(Δν_RF τ)〗^(1/2) ) $\sigma = \frac{2k_{B} T_{sys}}{A_{e} \times ( {(\Deltaν_{RF} \times \tau)}^{\frac{1}{2}}) }$
where T_sys the temperature of the interferometer system, Δν_RF is the receiver radio-frequency bandwidth, τ is the duration of the signal received from the interferometers.
