Analysis of Radome Cross Section of an Aircraft Equipped With a FSS Radome

Terahertz Radome Inspection

Radomes protecting sensitive radar, navigational, and communications equipment of, e.g., aircraft, are strongly exposed to the environment and have to withstand harsh weather conditions and potential impacts. Besides their significance to the structural integrity of the radomes, it is often crucial to optimize the composite structures for best possible radio performance. Hence, there exists a s...

Radar Cross Section Analysis for Frequency Selective Surface Radome based on SBR Method

Observability Analysis on Radome Aberration Estimation

The observability of radome aberration estimation with line-of-sight (LOS) angle-only measurement is studied in this paper. When missile seeker can only measure LOS angle of target, target state variables are required to be estimated with this measurement for accurate missile guidance. Since LOS angle measurement contains error, caused by radome attached at missile nose and called radome aberra...

Fast Multilayer Radome Computation with Gaussian Beams

We propose a technique to compute the effect of a dielectric multilayer radome. This technique uses a gaussian beam expansion associated with an evaluation of the physical optics spectral integrals using the asymptotic steepest descent path method. Then, we compare an iterative and a global process to take into account the multiple reflections inside the radome. Finally, a numeric validation is...

EM Performance Improvement of a Large A-type Sandwich Radome

Large sandwich radomes are widely used for radar antennas because of the desired some characteristics. They are constructed by connecting small panels for the restrictions on manufacture. These connection parts yield undesired scattered waves and generate higher sidelobes. We present a novel method to overcome this problem by optimizing the radome geometric design. The scattering characteristic...
