The authors would like to correct the published article [1] as follows. Equations (14)–(17) are valid when cos θ = 0. For the general case, the Equations should read:
E r a d = sin θ 4 π ε o c r I 0 [ 1 cos θ ] ( sin π c l ( t r / c ) ) a θ  with  δ = l ( 1 cos θ ) / c  for  r / c < t < r / c + δ
E r a d = sin θ 4 π ε o c r I 0 [ 1 cos θ ] ( sin π c l ( t r / c ) sin π c l ( t r / c δ ) ) a θ  for  t > r / c + δ
S ( θ , t ) = i ( t r / c ) 2 u 2 sin 2 θ ( 4 π ) 2 ε 0 c 3 r 2 1 [ 1 u c cos θ ] 2 a r  with  δ = l / u l cos θ / c  for  r / c < t < r / c + δ
S ( θ , t ) = u 2 sin 2 θ ( 4 π ) 2 ε 0 c 3 r 2 [ i ( t r / c ) i ( t r / c δ ) ] [ 1 u c cos θ ] 2 2 a r  for  t > r / c + δ
Note that with respect to the geometry given in Figure 3 of the paper, the time is shifted by an amount equal to l cos θ /2c. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to the readers.
