Answer 1

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

$ = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{j \pi x(a-2u) }e^{j \pi y(b - 2v) }dxdy $ $ = \frac{1}{j\pi(a-2u)}\frac{1}{j\pi(b-2v)}[e^{j \pi x(a-2u)}e^{j \pi y(b - 2v) }]{-\infty}^{\infty} $ $ = {\infty} $

Answer 2

Claim that $ CSFT{e^{j \pi (ax +by)} $?

Answer 3
