Continuous-space Fourier transform of the 2D "rect" function (Practice Problem)

Compute the Continuous-space Fourier transform (CSFT) of

$ f(x,y)= \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 1, & \text{ if } |x|<\frac{1}{2} \text{ and } |y|<\frac{1}{2}\\ 0, & \text{ else}. \end{array} \right. $

Answer 1

$ x[n] = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-2j \pi (ux +vy) }dxdy $

$ = \frac{1}{2j\pi(u)}\frac{1}{2j\pi(v)}[-e^{-j \pi (u)} + e^{j \pi (u)}][-e^{-j \pi (v)} + e^{j \pi (v)}] $


Answer 2

$ F(u,v) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-2j \pi (ux +vy) }dxdy = \int_{-\frac{1}{2}}^{\frac{1}{2}}\int_{-\frac{1}{2}}^{\frac{1}{2}} e^{-2j \pi (ux +vy) }dxdy $ $ = \frac{(e^{j \pi u}-e^{-j \pi u} )(e^{j \pi v}-e^{-j \pi v})}{(2j\pi u)(2j\pi v)} $

$ = \frac{sin(u)sin(v)}{(\pi u)(\pi v)} = sinc(u)sinc(v)= sinc(u,v) $ --Xiao1 23:26, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
