Radomes for flight vehicles
Abstract
The dielectric properties, structural stability, and structural design of a thin walled aircraft radome supported by a metal frame are considered. Radio transmittance and structural weight are emphasized. The theory of long lines facilitates finding a path for lowering the weight of the walls while preserving their radio-engineering characteristics.
