 MRA projection Fourier identity

Use $\hat{f}(\xi )=\int f(x)e^{-ix\xi }dx$ and let $P_j$ be the orthogonal projection onto the closed span of the orthonormal translates and dilates of a scaling function. If $\hat{f}$ is supported in $[-R,R]$ and $R<\pi 2^j$, thenIndeed, the Plancherel theorem writes the coefficient against ${\phi }_{j,k}$ as $2^{-j/2}(2\pi {)}^{-1}\int \hat{f}(\xi )\overline{\hat{\phi }(2^{-j}\xi )}{e}^{ik{2}^{-j}\xi }d\xi$. With $\xi =2^j\theta$, these are $2^{j/2}$ times the Fourier series coefficients of $\hat{f}(2^j\theta )\overline{\hat{\phi }(\theta )}$ on $[-\pi ,\pi ]$. The Parseval identity proves the formula. It shows that continuity and unit modulus at zero imply density of the refinement spaces, and conversely that density forces this unit modulus when the Fourier transform is continuous at zero.
