Abstract
A theory is developed showing how the diffraction pattern produced by a random phase changing screen depends on the bandwidth of the incident radiation. The theory is applied to interplanetary scintillation, and it is found that at metre wavelengths the effect of receiver bandwidth will be an important limitation to scintillation observations made on radio sources within about 30° of the Sun.
