Abstract
A radome structure may include a structural component, an inner tuning layer component underlying the structural component and an outer tuning layer component overlaying the structural component. The structural component may include a first fiber-reinforced dielectric layer that may include a first fiber-reinforced polymer. The inner tuning layer component may include a first inner tuning layer that may include a second fiber-reinforced polymer. The outer tuning layer component may include a first outer tuning layer that may include a third fiber-reinforced polymer.

A radome structure comprising:
- a structural component, wherein the structural component comprises a first fiber-reinforced dielectric layer comprising a first fiber-reinforced polymer, wherein the first fiber-reinforced polymer comprises a first polymer component and a first fiber component, wherein the first polymer component comprises an epoxy, a cyanate ester resin, or combinations thereof;
- an inner tuning layer component underlying the structural component, wherein the inner tuning layer component comprises a first inner tuning layer comprising a second fiber-reinforced polymer;
- and
- an outer tuning layer component overlying the structural component, wherein the outer tuning layer component comprises a first outer tuning layer comprising a third fiber-reinforced polymer.
