A chiral object is, by definition, a body that cannot be brought into congruence with its mirror image by translation and rotation. In other words, such a body lacks bilateral symmetry, and cannot be superposed on its mirror image. An object of this sort has the property of handedness and is said to be either right-handed or left-handed. An object that is not chiral is achiral. Some chiral objects occur in two versions relatedto each other as a chiral object and its mirror image. Objects so related are said to be enanriomorphs of each other. If a chiral object is found to be lefthanded, its enantiomorph is right-handed, and vice versa. Two examples of chiral objects, the Mbbius strip and the irregular tetrahedron, and their enantiomorphs are shown in Fig. 1.

Having watched physicists outperform electrical engineers in wartime radar laboratories, prominent educators overhauled the EE curriculum by introducing more mathematics, science, and electronics after the war. A leader of this movement was Frederick E. Terman, head of the Harvard Radio Research Laboratory (RRL) during the war and later Dean of the School of Engineering at Stanford University. Terman believed that the increased government and military sponsorship of research after the war raised the \"intellectual level of electrical engineering on the campus.\" Recent studies have supported Terman's assessment that the large infusion of research funds through such post-war agencies as the ONR, NSF, and the Joint Services Electronics Program played a key role in creating the present EE research and graduate education programs in the United States [l].","PeriodicalId":377321,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Newsletter","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127228248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Known as the Woodward-Lawson method, it has been used to synthesize shaped beam patterns. Simply stated, it consists of the superposition of a family of excitations, each with au niform amplitude distribution and a uniform progressive phase distribution. The first partial excitation produces a pattern with a main beam s iadnde lobes that tail off from a level of -13.5 dB; the placement of the main beam is governed by the value of the uniform progressive phase. The second partial excitation does likewise, but its uniform progressive phase is adjusted so that its main beam peak coincides with an innermost null of the first pattern, etc. This scheme results in the filling in of a sequence of nulls in the first pattern; the amount of null-filling i s governed by the relative amplitudes of the partial excitations.","PeriodicalId":377321,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Newsletter","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131888467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
