Large Rigid Radome Design
-
Description
-
It is becoming increasingly apparent that the field of large ground radomes encompasses requirements for rigid radomes. Because of this need, additional emphasis is being placed on the research, development, and evaluation of ·large rigid ground radomes. It might even be stated that the requirement for mobility which previously restricted the use of rigid radomes is in some instances no longer a serious bar to the use of the rigid radome.
The foremost intent of any radome is to provide protection to the radar antenna with a minimum attendant loss of transmission efficiency. This concept is no less applicable to large ground radomes than it is to airborne radomes. The design variables may differ; however, the net desired result is essentially the same. The evolution of the large rigid radome from preliminary design to final fabrication and test is based upon this prime consideration of high transmission efficiency. However, there are other important design factors which oftentimes are overlooked or are unduly minimized. A successful radome will reflect an honest evaluation and resolution of these many design variables and factors. In fact, it is a design responsibility to insure that the radome complies with these many factors which will result in an optimum design
