Analytical Expressions

New analytical expressions and numerical results for the quality factor and directivity as well as computationally convenient expressions for the input admittance of a symmetrical biconical antenna of arbitrary length $L$ and cone angle $\theta_0$ are presented. The quality factor for a wide-angle biconical antenna is shown to very closely approach the Chu's limit of $Q = (kL)^{-1}\{1+(kL)^{-2}\}$. Numerical calculations based on the analytical formula for antenna admittance confirm the conjecture that Foster's reactance theorem remains invalid even for perfectly conducting antennas. Furthermore, the variation of directivity of a wide-angle biconical antenna is a slowly varying function of its electrical length and is shown to depart significantly from that of a thin cylindrical dipole. <br>

Convergent Beam

Wide-angle convergent beam shadow images(CBSI) exhibit several characteristic distortions resulting from spherical aberration. The most prominent is a circle of infinite magnification resulting from rays having equal values of a forming a cross-over on the optic axis at some distance before reaching the paraxial focal point. This distortion is called the tangential circle of infinite magnification; it can be used to align and stigmate a STEM and to determine Cs for the probe forming lens. A second distortion, the radial circle of infinite magnification, results from a cross-over on the lens caustic surface of rays with differing values of ∝a, also before the paraxial focal point of the lens.

This report describes the use of digital correlation and averaging methods 1,2 for the reconstruction of high dose electron micrographs of the chitin-protein complex from Megarhyssa ovipositor. Electron microscopy of uranyl acetate stained insect cuticle has demonstrated a hexagonal array of unstained chitin monofibrils, 2.4−3.0 nm in diameter, in a stained protein matrix3,4. Optical diffraction Indicated a hexagonal lattice with a = 5.1-8.3 nm3 A particularly well ordered complex is found in the ovipositor of the ichneumon fly Megarhyssa: the small angle x-ray data gives a = 7.25 nm, and the wide angle pattern shows that the protein consists of subunits arranged in a 61 helix, with an axial repeat of 3.06 nm5.

A dual-band microwave metamaterial absorber with single-peak regulation and wide-angle absorption has been proposed and illustrated. The designed metamaterial absorber is consisted of hollow-cross resonators, solid-cross resonators, dielectric substrate and metallic background plane. Strong absorption peak coefficients of 99.92% and 99.55% are achieved at 8.42 and 11.31 GHz, respectively, which is basically consistent with the experimental results. Surface current density and changing material properties are employed to illustrate the absorptive mechanism. More importantly, the proposed dual-band metamaterial absorber has the adjustable property of single absorption peak and could operate well at wide incidence angles for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves. Research results could provide and enrich instructive guidances for realizing a single-peak-regulation and wide-angle dual-band metamaterial absorber.
