Abstract
The locations of targets transmitting HF frequencies generate lines of bearing (LOBs) using a correlation interferometer direction finder. These LOBs are subject to error if multipath from sea scatter exists. The compensation theorem of G.D. Montheath (1951) is used to derive the change in mutual impedance between a transmitting monopole and a receiving loop when rough sea multipath is present
