Systems and techniques for improving signal levels in a shadowing region of a seeker system

A radome comprising:

• a housing, which defines a radome cavity, said housing, having a first surface and a second surface;
• at least one waveguiding structure, having a first end and a second end, said at least one waveguiding structure, disposed on a first one of the first and second surfaces of said housing;
• and
• at least one antenna element disposed within the radome cavity, proximate the second end of the waveguiding structure, and configured to receive radio frequency (RF) energy propagating from the first end of said at least one waveguiding structure to the second end of said at least one waveguiding structure.

An antenna comprising:

• a radio frequency (RF) radome region;
• a plurality of antenna elements disposed within the RF radome region, wherein the plurality of antenna elements are disposed around an inner surface of the RF radome region;
• and
• a first waveguiding structure positioned along the inner surface of the RF radome region, wherein a first end of the first waveguiding structure is in a line of sight region of the antenna and a second end of the first waveguiding structure is in a non-line of sight region of the antenna.
