Description
A problem with telescope utilizing replicated structure coded masks is the possible occurrence of virtual images. A numerical method to discriminate virtual from real images, and to determine their correct location in the field of view, is described. The performance and reliability of this method, based on eight 'ad hoc' modifications of the coding array, have been investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. (orig.)
