Abstract
The field amplitude diffracted by a tilted aperture, under the Fraunhofer approximation, is investigated. A new coordinate system is found in which the amplitude of the diffracted field is still expressed as the Fourier transform of the aperture. The complex degree of coherence (CDC) originated by a tilted planar source is analysed in a similar way.
