How to compute the 2D inverse Fourier transform?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on computing the 2D inverse Fourier transform of the function F(k) = (k_x k_y) / k². The relevant equations for the 2D Fourier transform are referenced from a specific lecture on image processing. The integral to evaluate is presented as ∫ d²k (k_x k_y / k²) e^(i k·r), which is further expressed in Cartesian coordinates as ∫_{-∞}^{+∞} dp ∫_{-∞}^{+∞} dq (p q / (p² + q²)) e^(ipx + iqy). Participants suggest using polar coordinates to simplify the evaluation of this integral.

Homework Statement



The problem is to obtain the inverse Fourier transform of the following 2D functions

[tex]F(\mathbf{k})=\frac{k_{x}k_{y}}{k^{2}}[/tex]

Homework Equations



The relevant equations are the 2d Fourier transform formulas described http://fourier.eng.hmc.edu/e101/lectures/Image_Processing/node6.html" .

The Attempt at a Solution



[tex]\int d^{2}\mathbf{k}\,\frac{k_{x}k_{y}}{k^{2}}e^{i\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{r}}&=&\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}dp\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}dq\,\frac{p q}{p^{2}+q^{2}}e^{ipx+iqy}[/tex]

How would you proceed with the evaluation of this integral? I need some guidance on how to compute integrals like the above.

could you try polar co-ords?
