Abstract :
A hybrid method of aperture-integration and surface-integration techniques combined with the ray-tracing technique is presented. By this method, the effect of the radome on point source pattern are analyzed. The solution to the vector superposition of the transmission lobe and reflection lobe for the point source pattern with the radome is given. The theoretical results agree with the measurement quite well.
