The separation of two points in the aperture is denoted by two points in the aperture is denoted by rr, and , and θθ is the angular separation is the angular separation between point sources. Denoting by between point sources. Denoting by ΔΔΦΦ the difference in phase between the difference in phase between the two sources after the mean value is removed, the aperturethe two sources after the mean value is removed, the aperture--average average square of the phase difference, ensemblesquare of the phase difference, ensemble--averaged, is given byaveraged, is given by

……where where x = r / D x = r / D and r is the radial position within the aperture and and r is the radial position within the aperture and DD is the is the aperture diameter. The aperture diameter. The MTFMTF for the circular aperture is given byfor the circular aperture is given by

In using In using eqeq. [1] we have neglected a weak dependence of . [1] we have neglected a weak dependence of SS on azimuth within on azimuth within the aperture. When the aperture. When DD/r/roo is not large, is not large, eq.[1eq.[1] predicts mean] predicts mean--square phase square phase differences that can be significantly smaller than the simple exdifferences that can be significantly smaller than the simple expression pression ((θθ//θθisoiso))55/3/3 which is appropriate for very large which is appropriate for very large DD/r/roo..
