The use of aperture synthesis allows one to search for fluctuations in the CBR on angular scales below 1 arcminute. I report here tentative results of an experiment carried out with E. B. Fomalont, R. Windhorst and J. Lowenthal using the Very Large Array of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in New Mexico. We used the instrument in its tightest configuration and at a wavelength of 3.6 cm; the corresponding angular resolution was ~10”. We were able to set limits on fluctuations in the CBR on a range of angular scales, 10”-90”, and these are among the most sensitive upper limits on CBR fluctuations yet published.
