Since perturbed relativistic charged particle bunches of millimeter or submillimeter size emit coherently in the far infrared frequency region, there is growing interest in using this spectrum to obtain precise information about the bunch form factor. It is described here how the maximal information, including bunch asymmetry, can be extracted from such measurements.
