The geometry of FigureĦa is often found in lightweight (robotic) telescopes, that carry anĮlectronic camera instead of a secondary mirror. Have very little influence on planetary conrast.

In the Figures 5a and 5b the influence of vanes of 6mm Rather often, is the influence of the vanes that carry the secondary Interesting than the central obstruction, that has been discussed (right) again compared to the image with an unobstructed instrument Temperature aclimatisation) are not identical.ĥ0% central obstruction and the resulting diffraction patternĤb: An instrument with 50% central obstruction Should be difficult to figure out at a side by side test, if theĬonditions of the instruments under test (state of collimation, On the other hand, one can imagine that even this difference The apparent diameter of Mars was assumed to be 20" (arcseconds).ĥ0% central obstruction (Fig 4a and Fig. Simulated view of Mars with the unobstructed optical system from Fig.1aĪt a diameter of the entrance pupil (=objective diameter) ofĤ00mm.

The issue here, is that I'm certain there should be some radial dependence (given that a circular aperture's diffraction pattern has a radial dependence. Then, we'll want to take the Fourier transform of this, which should yield: T = $\delta + \frac)$ (where I've converted the x in the rect function to polar coordinates).
So, the total transmission function should be: $\tau = 1+\Pi(3 \lambda_0)-rect(x/(2*3 \lambda_0))$. The transmission function for a circular aperture is the step function and the for a slit, it is the rectangular function. I understand that to solve this problem, one will have to take the convolution of a circular aperture's diffraction with the inverse of a single slit's diffraction, but I'm having some difficulty getting through the calculation as I'm not entirely confident. What will the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern be in this case?
Suppose we have a circular aperture of radius 3 $\lambda_0$ and we place a vertical rectangle of width $\lambda$ over the center of the aperture (as shown in the picture).
