Let \(\alpha \in (0,2)\) and let \(\beta >0\) . Fix \(-\pi <\varphi \le \pi \) such that \(|\varphi |>\alpha \pi /2\) . We obtain asymptotic upper bounds on the Fourier transform of the radially symmetric tempered distribution \(\begin{aligned} \mathbb {R}^n\ni x\mapsto E_{\alpha ,\beta }(e^{\dot{\imath } \varphi } |x|^{\sigma }), \end{aligned}\) for \(\sigma >(n-1)/2\) , where \(E_{\alpha ,\beta }\) is the two-parameter Mittag-Leffler function. As an application, we obtain some values of the Lebesgue exponent \(p=p(\sigma )\) , \(\sigma >(n-1)/2\) , for which the Fourier transform is in \(L^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) . Such values cannot be obtained via the well-known \(L^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) properties of \(E_{\alpha ,\beta }\) and the Hausdorff-Young inequality, when \(\sigma \le n/2\) .
