Abstract

The physical optics solution for the position of apparent source in the case of a plane diffuser moving in its own plane is discussed and compared with the facet model solution. It is found that the former is rigorous and therefore the correct solution. This is used to modify the existing transverse and tilt sensitivity formulas.
