Abstract
A system includes an antenna configured to emit electromagnetic waves. The system includes a radome having an interior surface facing the antenna. The interior surface at least partially includes a wave-shaped structure configured to reduce reflections of the electromagnetic waves off the interior surface and to increase transmission of the electromagnetic waves through the radome.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- an antenna configured to emit electromagnetic waves;
- and
- a radome having an interior surface facing the antenna, wherein:
- the interior surface at least partially includes a wave-shaped structure configured to reduce reflections of the electromagnetic waves off the interior surface and to increase transmission of the electromagnetic waves through the radome,
- the interior surface of the radome includes a bent plane,
- the wave-shaped structure is located on the bent plane,
- a wavelength characterizing the wave-shaped structure is smaller than a wavelength corresponding to an operating frequency of the antenna, and
- a first wave propagation direction of the wave-shaped structure is parallel to an azimuth plane of the antenna.
