Abstract :
A multi-parameter performance optimization is carried out for the constant thickness radome (CTR) design. Such a CTR design can be further optimized with respect to the conical target sector of preference. This class of CTR design permits considerable thickness tolerance without any significant reduction in the EM performance, so as to facilitate the fabrication of these radomes.
