abstract = "X- and gamma-ray astronomy experiments which employ rectangular
URA coded masks alone show artifacts in the images reconstructed
due to nonuniform background levels in the detector plane. The
employment of a separate antimask in addition to the mask in
observations is useful to eliminate this problem. We propose here
a method to implement the antimask with the same mask, utilizing
the antisymmetric properties in the mask pattern, thereby avoiding
the need for a separate antimask in an experiment. Simulations
performed with this mask-antimask system are presented to show its
advantages.",
