Shavit R. Radome Electromagnetic Theory and Design

Wiley-IEEE Press, 2018. — 296 p. — ISBN: 978-1-119-41084-3.Radome Electromagnetic Theory and Design explores the theoretical tools and methods required to design radomes that are fully transparent to the electromagnetic energy transmitted or received by the enclosed antenna. A radome is a weatherproof and camouflaged enclosure that protects the enclosed radar or communication antenna, and are typically used on a fixed or moving platform such as an aircraft, ship or missile.Preface.
