A distribution u is homogeneous of degree σ when δt​u=tσu for every t>0. With the unnormalized angular-frequency convention, its Fourier transform is homogeneous of degree −n−σ.

Fourier transform of a homogeneous distribution

Homogeneous distribution
The scaling property of the Fourier transform extends by duality to
δt​u​=t−nδ1/t​u.

Consequently a homogeneous distribution of degree σ transforms into one of degree −n−σ.
