The far-field diffraction by generalized annular apertures of light waves rendered partially coherent due to atmospheric turbulence has been examined theoretically. The phase-structure function generated by the atmospheric turbulence has been assumed to obey the square law which leads to a Gaussian-type correlation function. Expressions are derived for the field-irradiance and central-irradiance distributions. The two-point resolution according to the Sparrow criterion has also been derived. The field-irradiance and central-irradiance distributions as well as the two-point resolution have been presented and discussed as functions of transmittance and phase variations in the two parts of the aperture, the size of the central part of the aperture, and the degree of coherence.
