Most patches in this series are fine by me. However, the function takes 
a single angle as input and returns a single two-dimensional coordinate 
as output. The coordinate itself is represented by the two axis i and q. 
So I tend to say changing coordinate to coordinates is not justified 
here. However, I not a native english speaker so I may be wrong here.
