Hi, I am not sure whether I got your question right. Let me try. In 2D you have frequencies along x-axis AND y-axis. They need not be same. So you need a matrix to represent all the frequencies. A value in 2D frequency response A(i,j) gives the amplitude for an x freqeuncy =i and y-frequency=j. So 1-D vector is not enough to represent the 2D frequency response. For a linear phase filter the coefficients are symmetric or antisymmetric. You can quickly verify this using Z-transform.
