Dispersion delay (Δt) for different observing set-up configurations.

Instrument νlow (GHz) νhigh (GHz) νc (MHz) Δ ν (MHz) tsamp (μs) Δt (μs) samples delay
Effelsberg (L-band) 1.210 1.510 1.360 300 54.6 1 793 000 32 845
ALMA (Band 1) 42.168 44.168 43.168 2000 32 366 11
ALMA (Band 3) 85.268 87.268 86.268 2000 32 46 1

Notes. We assume a DM = 1770 pc cm−3. νlow and νhigh are the lower and higher frequency of the bandwidth (Δ ν). The central frequency of the receiver is νc and tsamp is the sample time. For ALMA Band 1, we assume the same sample time as Band 3. At the final column is given the delay in number of samples.
