Illustration of the throughput power of the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade that can be obtained with a receiver and correlator that can process 16 GHz of bandwidth per polarization. Nine images of HD 163296 obtained with the MAPS Large Program (O ̈berg et al. 2021b) are shown. The remaining squares show the additional lines that can be observed simultaneously with the upgrade. Moreover, an additional 120 spectral windows would be available to target other lines. Credit: Carpenter et al. - ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)
