We present a method for decomposing a wave field, described by a second-order ordinary differential equation, into a radiative component and a nonradiative one, using a biorthonormal system related to the problem under consideration. We show that it is possible to select a special system such that the wave field is purely radiating. We discuss the differences and analogies with approaches which, unlike our approach, start from the corresponding sources of the field.
