These notes develop the mathematical foundations and construction of a Fourier-Bessel wavelet family inspired by the disk harmonics of Shaqfa et al.[9]. We begin with the relevant properties of Bessel and modified Bessel functions and introduce the wavelet properties required for the construction. We then derive the Fourier-Bessel disk harmonics as solutions to the Helmholtz equation on the unit disk subject to a Neumann boundary condition. Building on this basis, we construct a wavelet family by applying a Gaussian spatial envelope and introducing a zero-mean correction for the zeroth angular order. We derive the corresponding normalisation constants for
L2-based applications and discuss
L1-based normalisation for frequency-domain peak consistency. Finally, we derive a closed-form Fourier-domain representation of the resulting wavelets. The main motivation is the approximately linear spacing, which converges to
π between consecutive radial eigenvalues. Rather than replacing the conventional dyadic organisation of wavelet families, this construction lays out the foundation to explore whether a more uniform radial frequency allocation can be useful for applications in which broad and balanced frequency coverage is desirable.
