Figure 20: A design sensitivity amplitude spectral density curve for LISA created using the standard parameters in the online generator at [208]. The curve assumes equal length arms, sensitivity averaged over the whole sky and all polarisations, and an SNR of 1. Also included is a curve showing the expected background noise from galactic white-dwarf–binary systems, which will dominate over the instrumental noise in the range from ≈ 0.1 – 1 mHz.
