Design of a diluted aperture by use of the practical cutoff frequency

Abstract

We analyze the imaging performance of a number of diluted-aperture configurations, using the modulation transfer function. We select a single figure of merit, the practical cutoff frequency, rather than the traditional cutoff frequency, as the more useful frequency for the detection of details. Using this new parameter, we compare the performance of a number of published aperture configurations. On the basis of this analysis a new configuration is proposed for the Polar Stratospheric Telescope primary.
