TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Patterson function to determine modulated structure and showed that it can reveal the modulation of a basic structure if its summation terms include only satellite reflections.
Abstract: The Patterson function can reveal the modulation of a basic structure if its summation terms include only satellite reflections. Examples of Patterson summations for various types of modulated structures illustrate the difficulties of interpretation and the bias occurring in the determination of the amplitudes and phases of the modulation. The opportunity to use the Patterson function to determine modulated structure is discussed.
