Hi Brian,
Thank you for your reply! And really sorry for the confusion. Actually, I
have two functions R(r) and T(r), which are 2D radially symmetric function,
where r=sqrt(x^2+y^2). And now I estimated R(r) and T(r)(1D profile) from
some other place. Then I want to compute the convolution of R and T. So the
steps should be:
1. create 2D radially symmetric function from 1D profile
2. transform 2D radially symmetric function using 2D DFT and do
element-wise multiplication in frequency domain
3. transform the result in the 2nd step back to 1D profile
And the reason why I am using Hankel transform is that 1D DHT(with
0th-order of Bessel function of the first kind) is equal to the 2D DFT. So
I don't have to transform the 1D profile to 2D radially symmetric function
and again transform the 2D result back to 1D profile. And secondly, I
noticed that for most of cases, the frequency coefficients of DHT are real
numbers, but for DFT the coefficients maybe complex numbers. But I will use
one formula in next step which need the frequency coefficients are real
numbers.
And now my problem is that I think I should multiply a coefficient before
F_out, which is the inverse hankel transform of F(the element-wise
multiplication of R and T in frequency domain). But I don't know whether
this coefficient is still  j_(\nu,M)) or some other value.
Really thanks for any help!
