Abstract

The paper is devoted to the signal- and frequency characteristics of 2-D causal systems.  Two different approaches to this problem are presented. First, the 2-D complex Fourier transformation of the 2-D causal impulse response  of a
2-D system defines the 2-D complex frequency response . The modulus  is the 2-D magnitude response and  is the 2-D phase response of a system. On the other hand, applying the Pei’s formula relating the 2-D complex Fourier transform with the 2-D right-sided quaternion Fourier transform we introduce a concept of the quaternion-valued frequency response  of a 2-D causal system. We define the 2-D magnitude system response  and three 2-D phase responses. These concepts constitute an original contribution of this paper. The theoretical aspects are illustrated with examples of magnitude and phase responses of a causal 2-D analog low-pass filter.
