Synthesis Imaging Field of View

The flux received in a finite bandwidth with no instrumental delay, as derived in delay pattern, is

(1)

The field of view is defined as one over the argument of the sinc function

(2)

where is the spectral resolution

(3)

The sine of the zenith angle is on the order of 1 for sources not directly overhead, so

(4)
