Partially due to the fact that the empirical data collected by devices with finite bandwidth often neither preserves the specified structure nor induces a certain desired rank, retrieving the nearest structured low rank approximation from a given data matrix becomes an imperative task in many applications. This paper investigates the case of approximating a given target matrix by a real-valued circulant matrix of a specified, fixed, and low rank. A fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based numerical procedure is proposed to speed up the computation. However, since a conjugate-even set of eigenvalues must be maintained to guarantee a real-valued matrix, it is shown by numerical examples that the nearest real-valued, low rank, and circulant approximation is sometimes surprisingly counterintuitive.
