At low frequencies, the typical fields of view over which imaging is required is several degrees across, for which (a) the visibility and brightness distribution cannot be assumed to be related by a two-dimensional Fourier Transform, and (b) the propagation delays introduced by the atmosphere cannot be assumed constant within the field of view. These are adequately represented in a method discussed in this paper. Although compute-intensive, the method is suitable for implementation on parallel processors.
