Summary
-
1.
It is necessary to apply diffraction corrections if accurate measurements of various quantities by means of a radio-interferometer are required.
-
2.
The above formulas for diffraction corrections provide their determination with an accuracy of about 6%.
-
3.
A more accurate determination of the diffraction corrections can be obtained by means of their experimental evaluation for any particular equipment.
