    In this paper the authors present a simple new approach to the problem of computing Fourier transforms of SO\((d)\)-finite measures on the unit sphere in the Euclidean space. Representing such measures as restrictions of homogeneous polynomials they use the canonical decomposition of homogeneous polynomials together with the plane wave expansion to derive a formula expressing such transforms under two forms, one of which was established previously by \textit{F. J. González Vieli} [Arch. Math. 75, No. 4, 290--298 (2000; Zbl 0988.46030)]. They show that equivalence of these two forms is related to a certain multi-step recurrence relation for Bessel functions, which encompasses several classical identities satisfied by Bessel functions. They show that it leads further to a certain periodicity relation for the Hankel transform, related to the Bochner-Coifman periodicity relation for the Fourier transform. The novelty of this approach rests on the systematic use of the detailed form of the canonical decomposition of homogeneous polynomials, which replaces the approach based on integral identities related to the Funk-Hecke theorem.
