/**
  The Circular representation of polarisation.
  NOTE  U and V are probably wrong
  We are using the following convention:
  @li I = RR + LL
  @li Q = RR - LL
  @li U = 2*Real(RL)
  @li V = 2*Imag(RL)

  resulting in:
  @li I' = I
  @li Q' = Q * cos(theta) - V *sin(theta)
  @li U' = Q * sin(theta) + U * cos(theta)
  @li V' = V
