Abstract
The use of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) for investigating small angular features in galactic and extragalactic radio sources is discussed. Mathematical models are developed to describe the operation of an interferometer and to show the variations in the resultant fringe frequency. The types of sources to which the interferometer will respond are identified.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.

Limitations are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Application details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
