Dual band observations

In order to observe two frequencies simultaneously, the beam has to be split into two beams with the help of a dichroic. This adds some instrumental noise that we will encode as a higher value of the receiver noise (i.e., in increasing by for instance 10K).

As the dichroic can be removed from the optical path when doing single band observations, this increases will only happen when the sensitivity estimation is done in dual band mode.
