Abstract
An approach to indexing is described which uses a cosine Fourier transform to obtain direct space cell vectors. The cosine function has the advantage of being relatively insensitive to small errors. A number of approaches are discussed for the generation of either (i) candidate direct space vectors themselves, or (ii) directional components of such vectors in order to reduce the three-dimensional transform to a one-dimensional one. In addition a method is described which makes effective use of known cell dimensions. It is shown that a modification of this method can be applied to discarded reflections in order to analyze for a rotational satellite or twin.
