Interlaced Costas Arrays Do Not Exist

Figure 1

A demonstration of interlacing for 2 arrays: the elements of the first are in normal script and that of the second are in bold script; the interlaced array has rows and columns alternatively chosen from each of the arrays. As a result, the elements of the 2 old arrays occupy only those elements of the new array whose coordinates have the same parity modulo 2 (are either both even or both odd).
