Hi

In equation (7) of his IEEE paper "The Definition of Cross Polarization"
Arthur C. Ludwig presents his third definition for "reference"
and "cross polarised" components of the energy radiated by an antenna. This
definition is often referred to as "Ludwig 3"

I have tested this formula using far-fields generated by NEC and HFSS for
antennas such as a dipole parallel to a ground plane, radiating
orthogonally to it. If the antenna is aligned with the Y axis the formula
splits the radiated energy so that most of it goes into the reference
component and little into the cross component.

What equation should I use if the dipole is aligned with the X axis ?
