Abstract
Rainfall can reduce the radar signal through a radome. The effects of different water layers on the radome transmission are studied using quasi-optical measurement from 26 to 330 GHz including water permittivity characterization. The water is deposited as drops of different sizes or as a uniform layer while keeping a constant volume, highlighting the importance of the control of the total wet surface for radar applications. A compact model is proposed to predict the signal loss due to water on the radome depending on the rain flow.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves offers a peer-reviewed platform for the rapid dissemination of original, high-quality research in the frequency window from 30 GHz to 30 THz. The topics covered include: sources, detectors, and other devices; systems, spectroscopy, sensing, interaction between electromagnetic waves and matter, applications, metrology, and communications.
Purely numerical work, especially with commercial software packages, will be published only in very exceptional cases. The same applies to manuscripts describing only algorithms (e.g. pattern recognition algorithms).
Manuscripts submitted to the Journal should discuss a significant advancement to the field of infrared, millimeter, and terahertz waves.
