            Abstract : 
This paper introduces a novel non-reciprocal radome based on a non-reciprocal frequency selective surface (FSS) using Faraday rotation in ferrite slab. We call it therefore a "faradome." It may be seen as the spatial counterpart of the well-known Faraday isolator in waveguide technology. However, it differs from the Faraday isolator both because it is not bounded by a wave guide enclosure and because of its specific application to an antenna.
