 Complementary transition bands for a scaling function

Let a real measurable Fourier transform equal one on $|t|<2\pi /3$, vanish on $|t|\ge 4\pi /3$, and satisfy the displayed complementary identity on the positive transition band. On a fundamental interval, either only the central translate is nonzero, or exactly the two complementary translates contribute. Thus orthonormal translates and Fourier periodization holds. The periodic mask defined on $[-\pi ,\pi ]$ by $m(t)=f(2t)$ for $|t|<2\pi /3$ and $m(t)=0$ otherwise satisfies the scaling refinement equation in Fourier form. A concrete even transition is $f(t)=\cos (\pi (3|t|/(2\pi )-1)/2)$ on the transition bands. For complex-valued $f$, ordinary squares cannot replace absolute squares: transition values $i$ and $\sqrt{2}$ have squares summing to one but squared moduli summing to three.
