A low dielectric, low loss radome comprising low dielectric constant, low loss filler integrated into a matrix, the low dielectric constant, low loss filler reducing overall dielectric constant, wherein the low dielectric constant, low loss filler is distributed throughout the matrix such that the radome exhibits a substantially uniform dielectric of less than 2.5 through an entire thickness of the radome at frequencies from about 20 GHz to about 90 GHz.
A low dielectric, low loss radome comprising first and second layers and a core between the first and second layers, wherein:
- each of the first and second layers comprise low dielectric constant, low loss filler integrated into a matrix;
- and
- the first layer, the core, and the second layer cooperate to provide a substantially uniform effective dielectric constant of less than 2.5 through a thickness of the radome.
A material for a low dielectric, low loss radome, the material comprising low dielectric constant, low loss filler integrated into a matrix, the low dielectric constant, low loss filler reducing overall dielectric constant, wherein the low dielectric constant, low loss filler is distributed throughout the matrix such that the material exhibits a substantially uniform dielectric of less than 2.5 through an entire thickness of the material at frequencies from about 20 GHz to about 90 GHz.
