Abstract

Using the methods of Haxton and Ruffini the multipole expansion of the radiation field of an arbitrarily fast rotating magnetic dipole, with its axis inclined relative to the rotation axis, is obtained. This result is compared with the Fourier decomposition of the radiation emitted by the rotating dipole, obtained by Belinskyet al.
