…interferometer pair measures one “Fourier component” of the brightness distribution of the radio source. Work by Sir Martin Ryle and his colleagues in the1950s and ’60s showed that movable antenna elements combined with the rotation of Earth can sample a sufficient number of Fourier components with which to synthesize…
