+The most interesting perhaps unforeseen fact is that with this method we are
+getting a free (!) spectral analysis, since the coefficients $a_{m,n}$ are the
+spectrum of the interpolated electric field $V(\vartheta, \varphi)$. However,
+like in the non spherical Fourier transformation, we only get a \emph{finite}
+resolution since our measurement are spatially discrete. In fact, if we know the
