An Accurate Method for Designing, Characterizing, and Testing a Multi-Layer Radome for mm-Wave Applications

This paper presents an accurate procedure to design, characterize and test a radome for millimeter-wave applications. In this procedure, an accurate analytical model is presented to design a radome structure that takes into consideration the bandwidth, losses, reflections and depolarization factor a...
