RADOME FOR TRACKING ANTENNA

摘要

A radome for a tracking antenna system may include a dome for covering the tracking antenna, wherein the dome includes a dome wall having inner and outer skins sandwiching a low dielectric material layer there between, and wherein the dome wall includes a gel coat layer covering the outer skin to protect the dome in a manner environment. The inner and outer skins may have a thicknesses of approximately 0007 to 0027 inches, more preferably approximately 0014 to 0020 inches, and most preferably 0017 inches. The low dielectric material layer may have a thickness of approximately 0 153 to 0 173 inches, more preferably approximately 0 160 to 0 166 inches and most preferably 0 163 inches The gel coat may have a thickness of approximately 0010 to 0030 inches, more preferably approximately 0017 to 0023 inches, and most preferably 0020 inches.
