Circularly symmetric lowpass filters can be designed by assuming an idealized frequency response of the form

Figure shows the desired and the fitted spectrum obtained using a 21 term zero-phase filter. The filter in the space domain is a symmetrical filter as shown in Figure . The filter coefficients correspond to hn in Figure . The McClellan transformation filter is designed using the 5x5 filter shown in the Appendix. This filter corresponds to the G filter shown in Figure . Once the filter coefficients hn are computed they are incorporated into the recursive structure shown in Figure . The implementation is done in both space and wavenumber domains. The wavenumber domain response of the filter is shown in Figure . A spike in x-y space was used to test the space-domain implementation. The output of the lowpass filter is a smoothed spike as shown in Figure
