Abstract
A new generation of instrumentation and computer software is nearing operational status that is expected to make astronomic radio interferometry an important geodetic method by the early 1980's. Unfortunately, very few professional geodesists have become directly involved in the development or use of the method. This paper introduces some of the basic precepts of radio interferometry using vocabulary and concepts familiar to many geodesists from their experience with electromagnetic distance measurements. Only very basic mathematics is used, with the intent of presenting the material in an easily readable form.
