📡 Radio Interferometer: Two-Dish Fringes, uv Coverage and Earth-Rotation Aperture Synthesis

Point two radio dishes at a source, watch the fringe pattern cos(2πw/λ) sweep as the Earth turns, then add dishes and hours of rotation to fill the uv plane and sharpen the dirty image: baseline geometry, visibility of point and disk sources, dirty beam and resolution λ/B.
