Abstract

Arraying has been used, tested, analyzed, and generally poked about for the past decade or so. We have used one technique, or block diagram, for arraying for telemetry in the DSN, analyzed a few others, and seen still others used in radio astronomy applications. Looking to the future, there are a number of applications where our present technique will not work as well as we would like, and other techniques must be tried. This article develops (approximately) the feasibility limit to various possible array configurations. It is not intended as a “‘last-word” analysis, but rather as a guide to which areas would be the most fruitful for future analysis and development.
