Radome covers are an ideal way to provide additional protection to our radar antenna from environmental or wireless interferences. A radome will be designed in order to maintain the radiation characteristics of antenna in terms of transmission loss and beampointing error.
Material used to construct radomes must be dry and electrically isolating. PTFE is among the most effective materials available for radome construction. The material is fully machinable and maintain the uniform wall thickness throughout the part.
The presence of radome can affect gain (transmission loss), beam deflection, pattern distortion and reflected power
Features
- Antenna Polarization Neutral
- No Metal Framework, Rigid and Self-supporting
- Easy to install, directly attached with any type of antenna
- Lightweight construction
- UV Stable finish
- Drain holes in radomes to prevent inside build moisture
Provides Protection Against
- Rain and snow
- Wind
- Blowing sand and debris
- Corrosion
Sizing
Radome diameters and truncation are primarily driven by antenna type and size. For horn antennas the radome inner diameter must be equal to horn aperture outer diameter, similarly for Prime Focal antenna radome diameter equals to 1.5 times of reflector diameter and for Offset Geometries its 2.0 to 2.3 times of reflector diameter
