Abstract :
Aircraft radomes are often streamlined and highly prone to EM performance degradation due to fabrication uncertainties and the non-uniformity of the constituent radome materials. A novel patching scheme is employed for the enhancement of the EM performance. Besides tuning the performance, this patching scheme can also be employed to determine the potential of the radome for any further improvements.
