Abstract:
An analysis is presented of the periodic signal received from a rotating cylindrical regular polygon. All N faces of the polygon are assumed to be diffuse reflectors with the same reflectance. The closed-form solution shows that the modulation of the periodic signal falls off as the inverse of the cube of the number of faces.
