Caption: Figure 5.

Forecasted localization region for FRBs with three combinations of bandwidth occupancy, signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), and assumptions about the impact of the ionosphere. In each case, parameters are listed above the figure. Left panel: we forecast that we achieve our localization precision goal of 50 mas for fairly typical FRBs with S/NCHIME = 20 filling the observing band and fringe-fitting for the differential sTEC in our fiducial ionosphere model. Center panel: even at lower S/NCHIME and an ionosphere five times thicker than our fiducial model, the wideband fringe fits yields reasonably good localizations. Right panel: for a narrowband FRB, precise localization requires a calibration that nulls 80% of the ionosphere.
