Radome, reflector, and feed assemblies for microwave antennas

A microwave antenna, comprising:

• an antenna housing;
• a radome fabric attached to the housing and being configured to pass microwave electromagnetic signals therethrough, the radome fabric having an opening formed therein;
• and
• a vent component attached to the radome fabric so as to cover the opening in the radome fabric when the radome fabric is viewed from an elevation view in a direction parallel to an axis extending through and perpendicular to the opening in the radome fabric, the vent component being configured to allow air to pass between the atmosphere and the antenna housing;
• wherein the vent component comprises a plurality of attachment portions and a plurality of vent portions, the plurality of attachment portions and the plurality of vent portions being arranged in alternating fashion, respectively, around at least part of a perimeter of the vent component;
• wherein each of the plurality of attachment portions is bonded to the radome fabric;
• and
• wherein each of the plurality of vent portions overlaps the radome fabric and is not bonded to the radome fabric so as to be configured to avow the air to pass between the atmosphere and the antenna housing.
