Alternatively, sky and reference-load signals may be sampled separately and then $\Delta T$ may be compute numerically by the DPU.

Often compressors are evaluated looking at the compression efficiency $\mbox{$\eta_{{\rm c}}$ } = 1/C_{{\rm r}}$ but we considered $C_{{\rm r}}$ more effective for our purposes.
