Talk:Closure phase

In the Definitions section, I'm having trouble understanding your definition of the term "baseline" and your variables x1, x2, x3 and theta---and reconciling all of these with the diagram shown. I think that either (1) your theta should be defined as the angle between the line of "a" and the line of the radio signal, or (2) the cos(theta) in your equations should be replaced by csc(theta). Or, possibly, I'm way off base and neither of these options would be correct. Would you be able to help clear this up? Thanks in advance.

I have trouble understanding the definition of eB and eC - they are errors, but where do they come from? And why do they show up in the measured phases with those signs? 91.89.61.14 (talk) 18:14, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
