Comparing electron density with its autocorrelation function demonstrates that P(u) reveals the interatomic distances. The centrosymmetric nature of the interatomic distance vector map (Patterson map) in contrast to the electron density map becomes obvious. We also discover that, as a result of the convolution, the Patterson peaks are twice as broad as the electron density peaks (cf. purple arrows).
