Sorry I'm not following, my USAF test targets have pairs of B&W lines but they 
are arranged in sets, each diminishing in size. And when I'm using these types 
of test targets to assess the resolution of any digital system I would expect 
the limit of resolution would ideally be the target pair that render on the 
given sensor as alternating single rows of black and white pixels. If you are 
suggesting that you need to be able to confirm the period (1.5 cycles) by 
viewing 3 lines then I agree? But of course generally at least 2.5 cycles are 
available on most practical targets.
