What’s really cool as that the basis of support in the frequency domain has the same shape as your sampling function.

And generally speaking, the perfect shape would be a circle because you can fit the maximum amount of bandlimited noise into that space. Orientation really shouldn’t matter. It’s stranger that it does.
