I am assuming that it will be #304; is that right? I understand that Dick will provide a postscript file. --Larry ====================================================================== MMA Memo Abstract Template # abstract.template -- MMA Memo Series Electronic Abstract Template # # Comments are preceded by the "#" symbol.

In the case of interferometers, where the complex cross correlation is measured, there is an additional factor of $\sqrt{2}$ by which the sensitivity of double-sideband systems is reduced. This factor, which is not always taken into account, does not apply to total power systems. The relative sensitivity of double- and single-sideband systems is discussed for observations of both continuum and spectral line radiation. The results are then generalized to the intermediate case of unequal sideband gain. Finally, numerical results for ALMA from earlier memos are reviewed and extended. #END
