Abstract
Radomes for a base station antenna include a first dielectric layer having a first dielectric constant and a first thickness, a second dielectric layer having a second dielectric constant and a second thickness, the second dielectric layer being positioned on an outer side of the first dielectric layer; and a third dielectric layer having a third dielectric constant and a third thickness, the third dielectric layer being positioned on an outer side of the second dielectric layer. Each of the first and third dielectric constants is greater than the second dielectric constant.

- and
- a third dielectric layer having a third dielectric constant and a third thickness, the third dielectric layer being positioned on an outer side of the second dielectric layer,
- wherein each of the first and third dielectric constants is greater than the second dielectric constant.
A base station antenna, comprising:
- an array of radiating elements configured to emit an electromagnetic wave;
- a radome including a first dielectric layer, the first dielectric layer having a first dielectric constant and a first thickness;
- and
- a dielectric plate that is extending between the array of radiating elements and the radome, the dielectric plate having a second dielectric constant and a second thickness,
- wherein there is a first gas between the dielectric plate and the radome, and each of the first and second dielectric constants is greater than a dielectric constant of the first gas, and a shape of the dielectric plate matches a shape of a corresponding portion of the radome.
