Abstract

New expressions for Fraunhofer diffraction at an arbitrary shape aperture are presented. These are expressed in the simple form of the line integral over the rim of the aperture. Far field patterns for various shaped apertures are easily derived from these expressions which are well suited for numerical calculation. As examples, Fraunhofer diffraction fields for elliptical, polygonal, and sinusoidal apertures are shown.
