N2 - Airborne radar antennas are usually enclosed in conformal dielectric radomes for protection from a variety of environmental and aerodynamic effects. Unfortunately, the radome degrades the enclosed antenna radiation performance (gain, crosspol and radiation pattern) as discussed for instance in (A. Renuka and V. G. Borkar, 2005 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conf. Proc., pp. 4-10). In the case of high-speed moving platforms like aircrafts, another important consideration is related to the streamline shape of the radome to reduce its drag force, and this constraint makes the problem even more difficult to resolve. Common shapes of conformal radomes are spherical, conical and customized shapes depending on the application. Consequently, a significant effort is invested to reduce the radome effect.
