Abstract
The radiation emission of a particle spiraling in a medium is investigated. The electric and magnetic field intensities are calculated, and an equation is obtained in integral form for the radiation spectrum. Two limiting cases are thoroughly analyzed: those of circular and rectilinear motion of the charge.
