McClellan transformations for two-dimensional digital filtering-Part I: Design

This paper discusses the design of two-dimensional (2-D) linear-phase FIR digital filters by transformations of one-demensional (l-D) filters, using a technique first presented by McClellan. His original transformations are generalized and several algorithms are presented for the design of the generalized transformations. Examples are included to demonstrate, the versatility of the design method.
