This graph image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “NASA-SETI-Sensitivity.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Here is the original caption. Figure 5. Maximum sensitivities that may be realized during the observing program in both the sky survey (SS) and targeted observations (TS). For comparison, sloping lines representing a range of transmitter EIRP have been included so that the sensitivity required to detect classes of transmitters having the indicated EIRPs can be deduced as a function of distance to the transmitter.
