Radiation vector pattern

The radiation pattern is defined as a mathematical function or a graphical representation of the far field (ie, for r 2D IX, with D being the largest dimension of the antenna) radiation properties of the antenna, as a function of the direction of departure of the electromagnetic (EM) wave. A radiation pattern can represent several quantities, such as gain, directivity, electric field, or radiation vector. Consequently, the terms gain pattern, electric field pattern, or radiation vector pattern are used, respectively. 

Note that the radiation field is dependent on one angle only, namely the angle 9 subtended by the acceleration r and radius arm vector R the dependence enters Eq. 2.60 as (sin 9)2 which is characteristic of the familiar dipole radiation pattern. It is, therefore, straightforward to integrate Eq. 2.60 over a spherical surface R2 f dQ where dQ = sin 9 d9 dtotal power emitted,... 

Following Fraser et al. (4), we choose to represent the scattered intensity in terms of a cylindrically symmetric "specimen intensity transform" I (D), where D is a position vector in reciprocal space. Figure 10 shows the Ewald sphere construction, the wavelength of the radiation being represented by X. The angles p and X define the direction of the diffracted beam and are related to the reciprocal-space coordinates (R, Z) and the pattern coordinates (u,v) as follows ...

We could, like Perutz, introduce a heavy atom into each unit cell of the crystal, say by attaching a mercury atom to a specific sulfhydril group on every asymmetric unit. If the crystal were then exposed to X rays, the heavy atom would strongly scatter the radiation because of its high atomic number. The wave scattered by this heavy atom fuA would interfere with the wave produced by all of the other protein atoms in the crystal, the native F, and it would produce a resultant wave that was the interference sum of the two. The heavy atom in the unit cell provides the reference wave, and scattering in concert with the native atoms in the crystal, it would produce a wave that has the structure amplitude of the heavy atom derivatized crystal. This resultant amplitude, like that for the native crystal, can be measured by recording the diffraction pattern of the derivitized crystal. In vector notation we have... 

Many of the physical properties of crystals, as well as the geometry of the three-dimensional patterns of radiation diffracted by crystals, (see Chapter 6) are most easily described by using the reciprocal lattice. The two-dimensional (plane) lattices, sometimes called the direct lattices, are said to occupy real space, and the reciprocal lattice occupies reciprocal space. The concept of the reciprocal lattice is straightforward. (Remember, the reciprocal lattice is simply another lattice.) It is defined in terms of two basis vectors labelled a and b. ... 

Fig. 2. The layout of synchrotron X-ray small angle scattering measiurements. The optical system selects X-rays with a narrow band-width from the continous wavelength distribution of synchrotron radiation. Intensity of the primary>beam at the sample lo is monitored by an ion chamber. ly is the transmitted beam, and, I(s), the scattered intensity is recorded with a position sensitive detector. Scattering patterns of fibres are presented as Log (sl(s)) vs s plots where s = 2 sin 0/X is the scattering vector. 26 is the scattering angle and X is the wavelength.

Several different types of diffraction condition are used to characterise radiation damage. These are achieved by tilting the specimen with reference to the Kikuchi pattern. These include dynamical two-beam , bright-field kinematical and weak-beam conditions - see Jenkins and Kirk for a full description. Under dynamical two-beam conditions, small dislocation loops located close to foil surfaces exhibit black-white contrast (Fig. 9.3), and their symmetry can be used to determine the Burgers vectors and habit-planes. 

When the radiation incident on the crystal was horizontally (H) polarized (the E vector oscillating in the plane of k and L) and the angle a was constant, the pattern observed depended on the radiation power P, i.e. on the intensity of the electric field. At low power the transmitted beam was uniform over its transverse cross section, and its divergence was small. As the power was increased, the angular divergence 0 of the beam increased sharply and the beam took on a complex structure rings appeared in the plane of the screen, which was perpendicular to k. They increased in number as the... 

To calculate the characteristics of an antenna, the distribution of current on the elements must be known in advance. From the current distribution, the vector potential can be computed, and ultimately the electric field E and magnetic field H can be found. With this information, the radiation pattern, polarization, directivity, and other parameters can be described. 

If we substitute Eqs. (21-33) and (21-38) into Eq. (21-20), the magnitude S of the Poynting vector-which determines the far-held radiation pattern-is given by...
