The invention relates to a radome comprising a substantially sheet-type front plate the front face of which is transparent and the rear face of which is provided with an opaque layer, at least one cut-out being provided in the opaque layer and acting as a light passage; a reflective region of the sheet-type front plate, said reflective region being arranged adjacently to the cut-out; at least one substantially sheet-type light guide situated on the rear face of the opaque layer; and at least one light-emitting element which is coupled to the light guide such that light enters said light guide, propagates through the at least one light guide, is reflected on the reflective region, and enters the transparent front plate at said at least one light passage such that the light is emitted from the front face of the front plate.
A radome comprising a substantially extensive front plate, which is configured to be transmissive on a front side and which is provided on a rear side with a layer that does not transmit light, wherein a cutout in the form of a light passage is formed in the layer that does not transmit light, a reflective region of the front plate, wherein the reflective region of the front plate is arranged next to the cutout, a substantially extensive light guide which is arranged on the rear side at the layer that does not transmit light, and a light-emitting element which is coupled to the light guide to permit light to enter the light guide, wherein the light guide is configured such that the light propagates through the light guide and enters the front plate at the light passage and is reflected at the reflective region of the front plate such that it exits the front plate on the front side.
