Radome

Abstract

A radome 1 comprises a radome body 2 formed of an electromagnetic-wave transmitting first resin base material, a snow-melting base 3 formed of an electromagnetic-wave transmitting second resin base material having a refractive index mutually matching the refractive index of the first resin base material, and a heater wire 4 laid in an electromagnetic-wave transmitting region R of the snow-melting base 3 and secured to the snow-melting base 3. A recess part 21 recessed in an electromagnetic-wave transmitting direction is formed in a local region of the radome body 2 covering the electromagnetic-wave transmitting region R. The snow-melting base 3 is fitted in the recess part 21 in such a manner as to bury the heater wire 4 internally. It is possible to prevent breakage and failure of a snow-melting part by eliminating a snow-melting part wholly projecting from a radome body locally.
