Does there exist a function which is real-valued, non-negative and bandlimited?

69 Views Asked by At

There are obviously real-valued functions $f$ which are bandlimited. Take, for instance, $f = \mathrm{sinc}$. Can $f$ be also non-negative at the same time?

Take any real $L^{2}$ function $g$ which is bandlimited. Then $\hat g *\hat g$ has compact support and this is the Fourier transform of $h^{2}$ where $h(x)=g(-x)$.
