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.}, type={Article}, title={Quaternion approach to the the oryof 2-D causal systems}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/135260/25-5103-Snopek-sk-new.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ijet.2025.153602}, keywords={causal/anti-causal signal, causal system, Gabor’sanalytic signal, quaternion analytic signal, quaternion Fouriertransform, dual symmetry, Pei’s formula, impulse response, frequency response}, }
