An effective design procedure for A-Sandwich radome

This paper proposes a simple design equation for A-sandwich radome design. Operating frequency and transmittance are input parameters for the design equation. For a given design specifications to achieve appropriate performance with A-sandwich radome, tedious calculations must be carried out to extract key material and structural parameters. This letter shows that when material constant and thickness of skin of radome are pre-determined, A-sandwich radome can be easily designed using proposed design equation. The design results are validated through comparison with those from commercial full-wave simulator, revealing excellent and reveals good agreements. With the use of this proposed design equation, A-sandwich radome can be effectively designed for various applications, such as aircrafts, missiles as well as fixed ground installations.
