Description
The amplitude of the gravitational waves emitted by a binary system of
arbitrary eccentricity and orientation is developed in Fourier-Bessel
series. Periastron advance is also considered. We discuss the influence
of the orbital parameters in the spectrum of the wave amplitude. The
dominant harmonic in the spectra gives a good estimation of the
eccentricity. Periastron advance modulates the shape of the
gravitational radiation field, splitting the basical harmonics. The
analytical formulae presented here are useful for studying the
contribution of binary systems to the gravitational radiation
background.
