Abstract: Let $\mu$ be an $\alpha$ -dimensional probability measure. We prove new upper and lower bounds on the decay rate of hyperbolic averages of the Fourier transform $\widehat {\mu }$ . More precisely, if $\mathbb{H}$ is a truncated hyperbolic paraboloid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ we study the optimal $\beta$ for which

$\displaystyle \int _{\mathbb{H}} \vert\widehat {\mu }(R\xi )\vert^2 \, d \sigma (\xi )\leq C(\alpha , \mu ) R^{-\beta }$

for all

. Our estimates for $\beta$ depend on the minimum between the number of positive and negative principal curvatures of $\mathbb{H}$ ; if this number is as large as possible our estimates are sharp in all dimensions.
