1. An apparatus configured to precompensate for the effects of diffraction and wave-optical_interference comprising:
a physical aperture pattern constructed to emulate a result of a desired aperture pattern if the desired aperture pattern did not produce wave-optical interference and diffraction effects,
the physical aperture pattern to receive radiation from a scene and pre-compensate for the wave-optical interference and diffraction effects of the desired aperture pattern, taking advantage of wave-optical interference and diffraction effects of the physical aperture pattern to project a radiation pattern, the radiation pattern projected in a desired overlapping pattern that would have resulted if the physical aperture pattern had the desired aperture pattern but without the wave-optical interference and diffraction effects.
