Let \(\mathcal {F}L^q_s ({\textbf{R}}^2)\) denote the set of all tempered distributions \(f \in \mathcal {S}^\prime ({\textbf{R}}^2)\) such that the norm \(\Vert f \Vert _{\mathcal {F}L^q_s} := \left( \int _{{\textbf{R}}^2} \left( |\mathcal {F}[f](\xi )| (1+|\xi |)^s \right) ^q d\xi \right) ^{1/q}\) is finite, where \(\mathcal {F}[f]\) denotes the Fourier transform of f. We investigate the spectral synthesis for the unit circle \(S^1 \subset {\textbf{R}}^2\) in \(\mathcal {F}L^q_s ({\textbf{R}}^2)\) with \(1<q<\infty \) and \(s> 2 / q^\prime \) , where \(q^\prime \) denotes the conjugate exponent of q.
