Analysis of a two-dimensional radome of arbitrarily curved surface
Abstract
The transmission effect of a dielectric shell on electromagnetic radiation is analyzed by a modal cylindrical-wave spectrum technique. This method takes into consideration the curvature effect, which is generally ignored in classical approaches such as the ray method and the plane-wave spectrum analysis. The technique is applied to the analysis of radomes of elliptic shape. Numerical results are presented.
