The Fourier transform $H_p(f)$ of $h_p(x)=g^{-p}(x)\exp[-2\pi ig(x)]$, with $g(x)=\sqrt{1+x^2}$ has a closed form expression for $p=1/2$: $$H_{1/2}(f)=\int_0^\infty h_{1/2}(x)\cos(2\pi f x)=K_0\left[2\pi\sqrt{f^2-1}\right],$$ see page 17 of Erdelyi's "Tables of Integral Transforms" (Volume I). The Fourier transform of $1/g(x)$ is also a Bessel function, $$G(f)=\int_0^\infty g^{-1}(x)\cos(2\pi f x)=K_0(2\pi f).$$ The key thing to note at this point is that the Bessel function $K_0$ for real argument is basically a broadened delta function. So $H_{1/2}$ decays rapidly for $f>1$. For small $f$ there is a plateau at $|K_0(2\pi i)|=0.4992$, not exactly $1/2$ but close. Now I need to take the convolution of $H_{1/2}$ with $G$ to obtain the desired $H_{3/2}(f)$. Since $G(f)$ is a broadened delta function, this convolution smears out the sharp peak in $H_{1/2}$ at $f=1$, while leaving the plateaus for smaller and larger $f$ unaffected. <IMG SRC="https://ilorentz.org/beenakker/MO/Hp_plot.png"/> *Plot of $|H_{1/2}(f)|$ (blue) and $|H_{3/2}(f)|$ (gold).* <IMG SRC="https://ilorentz.org/beenakker/MO/H32_detail.png"/> *Plot of $|H_{3/2}(f)|$ for $f<1$, to show that it is almost but not quite flat, and almost but not quite $1/2$ for $f\rightarrow 0$. The sharp peak at $f=1$ that was present in $|H_{1/2}(f)|$ has been greatly suppressed by the convolution with $G$.*
