Synthesis and pH Sensitive Fluorescent Performance of 2'-Chloroseminaphthofluorescein with Dual Bands

A novel unsymmetrical fluorescein derivative substituted by chlorine and naphthol, 2 '-chloroseminaphthofluorescein, was prepared by the two-step synthetic method. This method can effectively control the reactive process,so the pure unsymmetrical fluorescein derivative can be obtained in high yield. The new fluorophore exhibited dual absorption bands,dual excitation bands and dual emission bands with long-wavelength,selectively exciting the acidic and basic forms of the fluorophore. Compared with the similar symmetrical fluorescein derivatives such as 2 ', 7 '-dichlorofluorescein and dinaphtofluorescein, this fluorophore was found to have larger Stokes shift,especially in the basic form. Based on the properties above,this unsymmetrical fluorescein derivative is expected as a good fluorescent probe to be used where the interference exists due to the presence of endogenous fluorescers.

This paper presents the single element dual band switched beam textile antenna.The antenna can operate at frequencies of 0.7 and 2.6 GHz using for 5G wireless communication applications.Textile fabric is considered to be used for substrate layer at the parts of a microstrip antenna for wireless body area network.The beam pattern of antenna can be switched into two directions by changing the position of shorted-circuit points at each edge of antenna.The main beam direction is 45°/225°when corner A is shorted while it steers at 135°/315°when corner B is shorted circuit.The advantage of the proposed antenna is the decrease of the problems like interference,light weight,flexibility and ability to switch beam easily.In addition,the results of the fabricated antenna are compared with the simulated ones.Moreover,the antenna is bent with curvature radius of 6 mm in forward direction.The effects of the bent antenna are studied.The results can confirm that radiation patterns of the bending antenna can be pointed into two directions when changing the positions of shorted circuit.Therefore,the proposed antenna can switch beam patterns,it is flexible,and it can operate at dual-band frequency on textile.

Feature-Based Fusion of Dual Band Infrared Image Using Multiple Pulse Coupled Neural Network

To improve the quality of the infrared image and enhance the information of the object,a dual band infrared image fusion method based on feature extraction and a novel multiple pulse coupled neural network(multi-PCNN)is proposed.In this multi-PCNN fusion scheme,the auxiliary PCNN which captures the characteristics of feature image extracting from the infrared image is used to modulate the main PCNN,whose input could be original infrared image.Meanwhile,to make the PCNN fusion effect consistent with the human vision system,Laplacian energy is adopted to obtain the value of adaptive linking strength in PCNN.After that,the original dual band infrared images are reconstructed by using a weight fusion rule with the fire mapping images generated by the main PCNNs to obtain the fused image.Compared to wavelet transforms,Laplacian pyramids and traditional multi-PCNNs,fusion images based on our method have more information,rich details and clear edges.

A compact dual band antenna made of high dielectric constant substrate is studied. Embedding a higher dielectric cylindrical inside the substrate host cylindrical enhances the dual band behaviour. The first part displays the characteristics of single CRDA as return loss, bandwidth and radiation pattern, then, the second part describes the aim of using an antenna, composed by the arrangement of two cylindrical resonators in which the smallest is inserted in the largest, to lead dual-frequency behaviour, and achieve a dual-band antenna. The proposed antennas are investigated using Finite Element Method (FEM), the impedance matching dual band definition and covers the Ultra High Frequency band (UHF).

Rectangular Microstrip Antenna Using Inductive Septums for Dual Band Operation with a New Resonant Mode

A novel rectangular microstrip antenna on conventional dielectric substrate with centrally loaded inductive septums are proposed for dual band operation. The proposed antenna has been thoroughly investigated and the results are presented in the paper. The conventional patch antenna fabricated on common substrates always resonates at its dominant TM10 mode which produces the radiation field along its broadside direction. In the present investigation, the same microstrip antenna is designed on conventional substrate with centrally located inductive septums beneath the patch, with a view to develop a new resonant mode which will produce radiation like dominant TM10 mode. The speciality of the proposed antenna is to excite a new resonant mode with good impedance bandwidth while the traditional dominant TM10 mode is kept unaltered. A thorough quantitative analysis is presented to justify the reason of generation of new resonant mode along with the traditional dominant TM10 mode. An easy and handful formulation has been established for calculation of the frequency for new resonant mode as a function of antenna parameters and the gap between the septums. The proposed idea has been verified through a commercial software package for a patch operating in C band and an excellent agreement is revealed.

Resonant Length Formulations for Dual Band Slot Cut Equilateral Triangular Microstrip Antennas

The dual band equilateral triangular microstrip antennas are realized by cutting the slots of either quarter wave or half wave in length, inside the patch. In this design, however these simpler approximations of slot length against the frequency do not give closer results for different slot lengths and there positions inside the patch. In this paper, the modal variations of slot cut patch antennas over wide frequency range are studied. It is observed that the slot does not introduce any mode but reduces the higher order mode resonance frequency of the patch and along with the fundamental mode realizes dual band response. The formulations of the resonant length for the mode introduce by the slots in these antennas are proposed. The resonance frequencies calculated using proposed formulations agree well with the simulated results with an error of less than 5%.

Dual Band MIMO Antenna Composed of Two Low Profile Unbalanced Fed Inverted L Antennas for Wireless Communications

A low profile dual-band multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system is proposed. The proposed MIMO antenna consists of two low profile unbalanced fed inverted L antennas with parasitic elements to resonate at 2.45 GHz and 5 GHz. The structure is uncomplicated by locating two ultra low profile inverted L antennas on the finite conducting plane. The proposed MIMO antenna is numerically and experimentally analyzed. When the size of conducting plane is 55 mm by 55 mm and the height of antenna is 9 mm, the directive gain of 4.11 dBi and the S11 bandwidth of 5.71% are achieved for lower frequency of 2.45 GHz. At the upper frequency of 5 GHz, the directive gain of 8.22 dBi and the S11 bandwidth of 6% are obtained. The proposed antenna has good diversity gain, shown by the correlation coefficient becomes less than 0.005 at the frequency of 2.45 GHz and 5 GHz band when the distance between inverted L elements is 41 mm. A good agreement between calculated and measured results is obtained. The results show that the weak mutual coupling of the proposed antenna and this feature enables it to cover the required bandwidths for WLAN operation at the 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band.

Strong dual band metamaterial absorber in terahertz regime

We report the design and simulation of a dual-band perfect terahertz absorber which is composed of an electric Split-Resonance-Ring(eSRR) layer, polyimide spacer and a metal plate layer. The absorber has two near-unity absorptions near 0.502 THz and 0.942 THz and both are related to the LC resonance of the eSRR. The results show that the designed terahertz absorber is an excellent electromagnetic wave concentrator. The electromagnetic waves are firstly converged into the spacer and the eSRR layer and are then significantly absorbed.

Novel design of a compact tunable dual band wireless power transfer(TDB-WPT)system for multiple WPT applications

In this study we present the design and realization of a tunable dual band wireless power transfer(TDB-WPT)coupled resonator system.The frequency response of the tunable band can be controlled using a surface-mounted varactor.The transmitter(Tx)and the receiver(Rx)circuits are symmetric.The top layer contains a feed line with an impedance of 50Ω.Two identical half rings defected ground structures(HR-DGSs)are loaded on the bottom using a varactor diode.We propose a solution for restricted WPT systems working at a single band application according to the operating frequency.The effects of geometry,orientation,relative distance,and misalignments on the coupling coefficients were studied.To validate the simulation results,the proposed TDB-WPT system was fabricated and tested.The system occupied a space of 40 mm×40 mm.It can deliver power to the receiver with an average coupling efficiency of 98%at the tuned band from 817 to 1018 MHz and an efficiency of 95%at a fixed band of 1.6 GHz at a significant transmission distance of 22 mm.The results of the measurements accorded well with those of an equivalent model and the simulation.

Dual band metamaterial absorber:Combination of plasmon and Mie resonances

A dual band metamaterial absorber composed of dielectric and metallic atoms with high symmetry was numerically designed and experimentally verified.Due to simultaneously generated electric and magnetic resonances of both plasmon and Mie resonators,two absorption peaks with near unity absorptivity were obtained at 9.45 and 9.80 GHz.The loss of the electromagnetic wave at the first resonance frequency was mainly caused by ohmic loss based on plasmon resonance.For the second absorption peak resonance frequency,the incident wave was trapped inside the dielectric cube and the main loss of the electromagnetic wave was caused by dielectric loss based on Mie resonance.Most of the proposed dual band metamaterial absorbers were sensitive to the polarization direction hindering its potential applications in scientific and technological areas.Combing both plasmon and Mie resonances provides a new and simple way to build dual band isotropic metamaterial perfect absorbers eliminating polarization effect.

Study of an athermal infrared dual band optical system design containing harmonic diffractive element

A harmonic diffractive element (HDE) is first successfully introduced to the athermal system of infrared dual band in this paper. In this system, there are only three lens and two materials, silicon and germanium. When the temperature ranges from -70℃ to 100℃ in the dual band, it can simultaneously accomplish the rectification of the longitudinal aberration in the big field of view, as well as the wave front aberration less than 1/4 wavelength. Modulation transfer function of dual band approaches or attains the diffraction limit. The calculation results show that the spectral properties of the HDE are between refractive and diffractive elements, so we can design a simple dual-band and athermal optical system by selecting the thickness and central wavelength of the HDE exactly. Compared with a conventional refractive optical system, this system not only reduces the demand for high technical levels, but also has a compact structure, few elements, a high transmittance better aberrations performances and athermal character. At the same time, the use of the HDE also offers a new element for the infrared optics design.

Dual-Band Coupled-Line Bandpass Filter with Independently Tunable Bandwidths

This paper reports a novel dual-band coupled-line bandpass filter.Comprising a quadruple-mode coupled-line resonator,this proposed filter could filter signals on two frequency bands.After introducing two varactors,one of the four resonances could be continuously altered by changing the capacitance of the varactors,thus the two frequency bandwidths could be independently tunned.In this paper,the detailed explanation for its operation is given,and the agreement between the expected and practical performance sufficiently confirms the robustness and effectiveness of this proposed filter.

DUAL-BAND INFRARED DETECTORS

As the infrared technology continues to advance, there is a growing demand for multispectral detectors for advanced IR systems with better target discrimination and identification. Both HgCdTe detectors and quantum well GaAs/AlGaAs photodetectors offer wavelength flexibility from medium wavelength to very long wavelength and multicolor capability in these regions. The main challenges facing all multicolor devices are more complicated device structtures, thicker and multilayer material growth, and more difficult device fabrication, especially when the array size gets larger and pixel size gets smaller. In the paper recent progress in development of two color HgCdTe photodiodes and quantum well infrared photodetectors is presented. More attention is devoted to HgCdTe detectors. The two color detector arrays are based upon an n P N (the capital letters mean the materials with larger bandgap energy) HgCdTe triple layer heterojunction design. Vertically stacking the two p n junctions permits incorporation of both detectros into a single pixel. Both sequential mode and simultaneous mode detectors are fabricated. The mode of detection is determined by the fabrication process of the multilayer materials. Also the performances of stacked multicolor QWIPs detectors are presented. For multicolor arrays, QWIP’s narrow band spectrum is an advantage, resulting in low spectral crosstalk. The major challenge for QWIP is developing broadband or multicolor optical coupling structures that permit efficient absorption of all required spectral bands.

Surface plasmon-enhanced dual-band infrared absorber for VO_x-based microbolometer application

We propose a periodic structure as an extra absorption layer(i.e., absorber) based on surface plasmon resonance effects, enhancing dual-band absorption in both middle wavelength infrared(MWIR) and long wavelength infrared(LWIR)regions. Periodic gold disks are selectively patterned onto the top layer of suspended SiN/VO_2/SiN sandwich-structure.We employ the finite element method to model this structure in COMSOL Multiphysics including a proposed method of modulating the absorption peak. Simulation results show that the absorber has two absorption peaks at wavelengths λ =4.8 μm and λ = 9 μm with the absorption magnitudes more than 0.98 and 0.94 in MWIR and LWIR regions, respectively. In addition, the absorber achieves broad spectrum absorption in LWIR region, in the meanwhile, tunable dual-band absorption peaks can be achieved by variable heights of cavity as well as diameters and periodicity of disk. Thus, this designed absorber can be a good candidate for enhancing the performance of dual band uncooled infrared detector, furthermore, the manufacturing process of cavity can be easily simplified so that the reliability of such devices can be improved.

Novel dual-band antenna for multi-mode GNSS applications

A novel dual-band antenna is proposed for mitigating the multi-path interference in the global navigation satellite system(GNSS) applications. The radiation patches consist of a shortedannular-ring reduced-surface-wave(SAR-RSW) element and an inverted-shorted-annular-ring reduced-surface-wave(ISAR-RSW)element. One key feature of the design is the proximity-coupled probe feeds to increase impedance bandwidth. The other is the defected ground structure band rejection filters to suppress the interaction effect between the SAR-RSW and the ISAR-RSW elements. In addition, trans-directional couplers are used to obtain tight coupling. Measurement results indicate that the antenna has a larger than 10 d B return loss bandwidth and a less than 3 d B axial-ratio(AR) bandwidth in the range of(1.164 – 1.255) GHz and(1.552 – 1.610) GHz. The gain of the passive antenna in the whole operating band is more than 7 d Bi.

Measurements of ocean wave and current field using dual polarized X-band radar

A new ocean wave and sea surface current monitoring system with horizontally-(HH) and vertically-(VV) polarized X-band radar was developed.Two experiments into the use of the radar system were carried out at two sites,respectively,for calibration process in Zhangzi Island of the Yellow Sea,and for validation in the Yellow Sea and South China Sea.Ocean wave parameters and sea surface current velocities were retrieved from the dual polarized radar image sequences based on an inverse method.The results obtained from dual-polarized radar data sets acquired in Zhangzi Island are compared with those from an ocean directional buoy.The results show that ocean wave parameters and sea surface current velocities retrieved from radar image sets are in a good agreement with those observed by the buoy.In particular,it has been found that the vertically-polarized radar is better than the horizontally-polarized radar in retrieving ocean wave parameters,especially in detecting the significant wave height below 1.0 m.

INDEPENDENTLY-TUNED CONCURRENT DUAL-BAND BRANCH-LINE COUPLER USING VARACTOR

This paper presents a concurrent dual-band branch-line coupler with an independently tunable center frequency. In the proposed architecture, the quarter-wavelength lines, which work at two separated bands concurrently and can be tuned in one of them, are key components. Based on the analysis of ABCD-matrix, a novel hybrid structure and a pair of varactors topology are utilized to achieve concurrent dual-band operation and independent tunability, respectively. Using this configuration, it is convenient to tune the center frequency of the upper band, while the responses of the lower band remain unaltered. To verify the proposed idea, a demonstration is implemented and the simulated results are presented.

Single-layer dual-band terahertz filter with weak coupling between two neighboring cross slots

A dual-band terahertz(THz) filter consisting of two different cross slots is designed and fabricated in a single molybdenum layer. Experimental verification by THz time-domain spectroscopy indicates good agreement with the simulation results. Owing to the weak coupling between the two neighboring cross slots in the unit cell, good selectivity performance can be easily achieved, both in the lower and higher bands, by tuning the dimensions of the two crosses. The physical mechanisms of the dual-band resonant are clarified by using three differently configured filters and electric field distribution diagrams. Owing to the rotational symmetry of the cross-shaped filter, the radiation at normal incidence is insensitive to polarization. Compared with the THz dual-band filters that were reported earlier, these filters also have the advantages of easy fabrication and low cost, which would find applications in dual-band sensors, THz communication systems, and emerging THz technologies.
