Fig. 7From: Array-size dependency of the upper limit wavelength normalized by array radius for the standard spatial autocorrelation methoda Schematic diagram of determining the value of rk from the SPAC coefficient through the model function. The grey curve represents the model function of \({J}_{0}(rk)\). b SPAC coefficient curve affected by incoherent noise (broken line). rk is overestimated (i.e., rk′in the figure) in the rk range less than 2.6 when incoherent noise is present. The shaded regions in each diagram represent the rk range larger than 3.8 (i.e., out of the search range for rk)Back to article page
