2D Dirac delta

$ \delta(x,y)=\delta(x) \delta(y), \text{ where }x,y\in {\mathbb R} $

2D sinc function

$ sinc(x,y)=\frac{sin(\pi x)sin(\pi y)}{\pi^2 x y }, \text{ where }x,y\in {\mathbb R} $

(info) 2D rect function

$ rect(x,y)= \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}1, & \text{ for } |x|\leq \frac{1}{2} \text{ and } |y|\leq \frac{1}{2} \\ 0, & \text{ else}\end{array}\right., \text{ where }x,y\in {\mathbb R} $
