Abstract

We developed a complete and orthonormal set of vector polynomials defined over a unit circle. One application of these vector polynomials is for fitting the mapping distortions in an interferometric null test. This paper discusses the source of the mapping distortions and the approach of fitting the mapping relations, and justifies why the set of vector polynomials is the appropriate choice for this purpose. Examples are given to show the excellent fitting results with the polynomials.
