Rayleigh’s integral formula is evaluated numerically for planar radiators of any shape, with any specified velocity in the source plane using the fast Fourier transform algorithm. The major advantage of this technique is its speed of computation—over 400 times faster than a straightforward two‐dimensional numerical integration. The technique is developed for computation of the radiated pressure in the nearfield of the source and can be easily extended to provide, with little computation time, the vector intensity in the nearfield. Computations with the FFT of the nearfield pressure of baffled rectangular plates with clamped and free boundaries are compared with the ‘‘exact’’ solution to illuminate any errors. The bias errors, introduced by the FFT, are investigated and a technique is developed to significantly reduce them.
