For , at generic angles,

The identity extends after joint distributional testing through image boundaries. Near such a boundary ,

The weight decays exponentially at large . For ,

Proof. Set , , , and

Splitting positive and negative frequencies gives

The denominators give the asserted joint local bound. For , a decay rate is . At , the zero-order sine vanishes and rate suffices.

Insert the integral representation

DLMF (Eq. 10.32.4). Twisted Fourier summation of the first term gives the image indicator and its phases. An Abel factor justifies summation first. The joint bound is locally integrable in ; it and the large- decay justify the distributional limit. Combining fractions at gives the last formula.
