Abstract
An antenna assembly including a radome having a top section and a base section. The top section may be substantially hemispherical in shape and may have a top flange that extends outwards from a base of the hemisphere. The top section may be made of one or more layers of fiberglass and a RF transparent material. The one or more layers of fiberglass may be tapered to stop approximately 6″ above the top flange. The base section may have a base flange that is joined to the top flange. The base section may be substantially conical in shape such that it tapers from the base flange to a bottom area having a smaller diameter. The bottom area may be configured to mount to a support structure.

A radome for an antenna assembly system, comprising:
- a top section that is substantially hemispherical in shape and having a top flange that extends outwards from a base of the hemisphere, the top section comprising one or more layers of fiberglass and a RF transparent material, wherein the one or more layers of fiberglass are tapered to stop a predetermined distance above the top flange;
- and
- a base section having a base flange configured to be joined to the top flange, the base section substantially conical in shape such that it tapers from the base flange to a bottom area having a smaller diameter, wherein the bottom area is configured to mount to a support structure.
A method of forming a radome for an antenna assembly system, comprising:
- forming a top section that is substantially hemispherical in shape, the top section comprising one or more layers of fiberglass and a RF transparent material, wherein the one or more layers of fiberglass are tapered to stop a predetermined distance above a top flange that extends outwards from a base of the hemisphere;
- forming a base section that is substantially conical in shape such that it tapers from a base flange to a bottom area having a smaller diameter, wherein the bottom area is configured to mount to a support structure;
- and
- joining the base flange of the base section to the top flange of the top section.
