  • Abstract
    The shape function s(x, y) of a planar aperture \\Sigma is defined ashaving value one inside \\Sigma and zero outside. The two-dimensional Fourier transform of s(x, y) when \\Sigma is an N -sided polygon is considered, and a closed-form exact solution is presented. Applications of these results are described for 1) the calculation of the secondary pattern of a reflector antenna with a noncircular aperture, and 2) high-frequency transmission through a periodic frequency selective surface.
