Abstract :
We consider a method of calculation of the radiation field of a two-dimensional array antenna in a radome, and of the scattered field if a plane electromagnetic wave is incident on the radome. The method is based on solving the volume integral equation relatively the total field in the radome. Radiation patterns for such antenna system are presented, together with the field scattered by the radome illuminated by a plane electromagnetic wave, in both near and far zones.
