    Microwave Kinetic Inductance Devices (MKIDs) are poised to allow for massively and natively multiplexed photon detectors arrays and are a natural choice for the next-generation CMB Stage 4 experiment which will require 10 5 detectors. In this article, we discuss what noise performance of present generation MKIDs implies for CMB measurements. We consider MKID noise spectra and simulate a telescope scan strategy which projects the detector noise onto the CMB sky. We then analyze the simulated CMB + MKID noise to understand particularly low-frequency noise affects the various features of the CMB, and thusly set up a framework connecting MKID characteristics with scan strategies, to the type of CMB signals we may probe with such detectors.
