 Radiation pattern of a circularly moving nonrelativistic charge

For an orbit of radius $b$ in the $xy$ plane, $\mathbf{a}=-b{\omega }^2(\cos \omega t,\sin \omega t,0)$. In spherical coordinates, at angle $\theta$ from the orbit normal, $⟨(\mathbf{n}\cdot \mathbf{a}{)}^2⟩=b^2{\omega }^4{\sin }^2\theta /2$. The acceleration covariance in nonrelativistic radiation therefore gives the displayed pattern. Its axial power per solid angle is twice its equatorial value; no observation direction has zero time-averaged power. Integrating gives $⟨P⟩=q^2{b}^2{\omega }^4/(6\pi {ϵ}_0{c}^3)$. The condition $b\omega \ll c$ is essential: relativistic synchrotron radiation has a different beamed pattern.
