  • Abstract
    For certain radio astronomical purposes in which only fringe amplitudes are of interest, it is shown that the correlating interferometer and the postdetection correlation interferometer are extreme ends of a spectrum of interferometer types. Intermediate-type interferometers have a higher signal-to-noise ratio than do postdetection interferometers yet do not require the phase stability of correlation interferometers.
