Abstract
The operational improvement in rain provided by a hydrophobic radome coating is experimentally verified for the case of an airport ground-surveillance radar. The efficacy of a hydrophobic radome coating is illustrated with photographs of the plan-position-indicator display during moderate rainfall before and after the application of the coating.
