Abstract
The characteristics of the phase-difference fluctuations expected for an interferometer in a multipath field are derived from elementary considerations. The specific case considered is a two-path field in which the signal strength of the multipath components may be different at each of the interferometer elements. The phase fluctuations so derived bear a striking resemblance to some measured phase fluctuations of ionospherically propagated radio waves.
