Three spacecraft of LISA/TAIJI mission follow their respective geodesic trajectories, and their interferometric arms are unequal and time-varying due to orbital dynamics. Time-delay interferometry (TDI) is proposed to suppress the laser frequency noise caused by the unequal-arm. By employing the numerical orbit, we investigate the sensitivity of the first-generation TDI configurations and their corresponding optimal A, E, and T channels. The sensitivities of T channels from Michelson and Monitor/Beacon configurations diverge from the equal-arm case in frequencies lower than 10 mHz, and their performances vary with the inequality of the arm lengths. The mismatches of the laser beam paths are evaluated in a dynamic case, and the residual laser noise in the first-generation TDI could not satisfy the mission requirement.

  1. Signal-to-Noise Ratio Contours for LISA

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    LISA auto-correlation SNR equals the square root of T_obs times the integral of (signal/(noise+signal))^2 and is therefore bounded by sqrt(T_obs(f_max-f_min)).

  2. Construction of Sensitivity Curves for Dynamic LISA and Taiji

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Dynamic LISA/Taiji sensitivity curves exhibit 20% low-frequency variation and 70% directional source-count variation relative to static models, with quadrant patterns at low frequencies.
