Radar radome and its design considerations

Abstract

Radar plays a significant role in managing air and sea transportation, monitoring a certain areas, surveying, remote sensing, predicting weather, and defense. To protect the Radar against enviromental factors, a radome is required. In this paper, we present some design considerations for constructing a Radome. Based on experience in building the ISRA LIPI Radar, the Radome designs are presented. Measurement results on the effects of Radome to the Radar performance are also presented
