In this paper, the issue of minimizing the probability of ambiguities of direction-of-arrival measurements from phased interferometers is studied. Diophantine equations are used to separate the phase space into two subspaces, one of which contains the component of measurement error that contributes to ambiguity potential, and the other of which contains the component of error that contributes r to continuous, non-ambiguous DOA error. This separation of subspaces is used to study the properties that minimize the probability of ambiguity as a function of the antenna spacings.
