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)}] $
