Abstract
This Technical Note (LISA reference LISA-LCST-SGS-TN-001) describes the computation of the noise power spectral density, the sensitivity curve and the signal-to-noise ratio for LISA (Laser Interferometer Antenna). It is an applicable document for ESA (European Space Agency) and the reference for the LISA Science Requirement Document.
