The presence of high-Z impurities, such as tungsten (W), can lead to non-uniform SXR radiation on flux surfaces due to the centrifugal forces in rotating plasmas. The goal of this work is to characterize the effects of such rotation-induced radiation asymmetries on FFT-based SXR mode analysis. Therefore, a synthetic SXR diagnostic has been implemented, which takes into account the full 3D geometry of the detectors, resulting in a volume integration rather than the more simplifying line integration. We have focused on resistive kink modes, where we have implemented a model for the flux surfaces perturbed by the mode and the W distribution within. In a rotation scan, which leads to a variation of the asymmetry, a strong dependence of the FFT phase profile on the asymmetry strength is found. A comparison with experimental data shows good agreement, which verifies the used models.
