Abstract
A coordinate system is proposed for the purposes of analysis of far-field radiation from a localized source at the origin. The proposed coordinates exhibit no singularities over the far-field hemi-sphere, making them a good choice for automated radiation pattern analysis. Finally, it is shown that Ludwig polarization basis, commonly used to represent polarization of the far-field radiation, arises naturally, as a coordinate basis, when one uses stereographic coordinates.
