Best Image with Elliptical Synthetic Obscured Apertures

It is well established that synthetic apertures of various shapes are superior to a single aperture in improving the overall performance of optical systems.

In this research, a set of elliptical synthetic obstructed apertures was used in place of the ellipse synthetic obstructed apertures that was used previously and the calculation of the point spread function to assess the performance of the optical system and reduce the diffraction values from it previously, according to the results, an improvement was observed in the optical system with array of elliptical synthetic obstructed apertures.
