Abstract
Transmission loss measurements under conditions of simulated rainfall and observed weatherability suggest that Teflon may be a suitable hydrophobic coating for microwave radomes. Teflon performance is compared with fumed silicone dioxide (FSD) and HMOD4, coatings which have been the subject of an earlier detailed study.
