Development of a resonant metal radome
Abstract
Resonant metal radomes offer a number of advantages over conventional radomes. In the present paper, a technique for applying a slotted metallic coating to polymeric radomes is proposed. The effectiveness of the technique is demonstrated by applying it to the C-140 radome designed to operate at frequencies of 9.375 GHz.
