  • Abstract
    The number of nonredundant baselines obtained from the T, Y, and ring array configurations are compared. For the same number of array elements, it is shown that the ring array has the largest number of baselines. The Y array has the second largest number of baselines; however, it also has more potential for adjustments and future growth.
