Parametric investigation of radome analysis methods. Volume 2: Computer-aided radome analysis using geometrical optics and Lorentz reciprocity
Abstract
A FORTRAN computer program is described for computing the effects of a tangent ogive radome on the receiving patterns and boresight directions of a monopulse antenna. The analytical method based on ray tracing, main program, and 34 subroutines are thoroughly documented. Four test cases and their results in the form of printouts, pattern plots, and near-field graphs are presented.
