Radomes — This course — you guessed it! — is all about radomes, the structural, weatherproof enclosures that protect radar and communication antennas. You will explore the electromagnetic design, analysis, materials, measurement, and performance of radomes. The course begins with the basic electromagnetic properties of radome-enclosed antennas, including gain loss, EIRP, far-field pattern distortion, polarization change, noise increase, main beam boresight error, and boresight error slope. You will study the popular radome design and analysis techniques, and gain an understanding of radome-enclosed antenna measurement techniques and a radome diagnostic technique.
