A GRAPHIC TECHNIQUE FOR RADOME RAY ANALYSIS,

Abstract

A method is presented for applying ray tracings to a standard set of radome prints to determine component values of the angles of incidence of radar antenna radiation iminging on a radome wall. Equations are developed that determine the true angles of incidence and polarization as a function of these component angles; a sample ray study is illustrated; and a tapered, half-wave solid-wall design is presented.
