Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Angular distribution is investigated of instantaneous radiation power of a point charge moving in an arbitrary manner. All special features of such distribution are found. The radiation distributor is analyzed geometrically as one-parameter family of surfaces, the parameter being the angle between the charge velocity and its acceleration. The envelope of this family is found and studied.
