Abstract
An asymptotic expansion has been obtained for the focal plane distribution (or the radiation pattern) of aperture antennas with Gaussian distributed random phase deviations. This asymptotic series not only offers convenience in numerical computation for large phase errors, but also clarifies the region of validity for the geometrical optics approximation.
