hint: Use geodesic deviation equation in the proper frame at the centre of the circle. For a GW propagating in the z direction, we can write $$\frac{D^2n^j}{D\tau^2} + R_{0jok}n^k=0$$ where $n^j = x_B^j-x_A^j$ and use $h_{jk}^{TT} = Re[A_0 e^{i(kz-\omega t)}{e_{\boldmath{p}}}_{jk}]$, $e_{\boldmath{p}}$ is the polarization tensor. hint: Use geodesic deviation equation in the proper frame at the centre of the circle.

Initially $x_B^j = x_B^j(0)$, $h_{ij} = 0$
