Abstract
Radial Walsh functions form a closed set of orthogonal functions over a given finite interval, each function taking merely one constant value (either +1 or −1) in each of a finite number of subintervals into which the entire interval is divided. This set provides a remarkable set of orthogonal radial filters for the pupil of an imaging system. We report analytical expressions for members of the set and their Hankel transforms of order zero. Far-field diffraction characteristics, namely, the far-field amplitude distribution and the optical transfer functions, are presented for the first eight members of the set.
