Abstract :
Based on the analysis of the plane wave spectrum-surface integral (PWS-SI) method and combining it with spline function theory, numerical simulation to obtain the far field directional pattern of a radome is investigated. And then, an optimization method for calculating the boresight error is presented. A calculation example using the actual data measured from the radome shows that the method is correct and effective for calculating the boresight error
