Infinite Technologies Terrestrial Radome 13.7 Meter

The basic function of a radome is to provide a defense between an antenna and the outside environment while simultaneously minimizing impact on electromagnetic performance. Radomes protect a wide range of ground and shipboard systems for communications, weather radar, military precision tracking, fire control and other antenna systems. The proper selection of a radome can improve overall system performance, reduce down-time, and extend the antenna’s useful service life through prolonged component operation and possibly reduce antenna maintenance costs.

Adding a properly designed radome can be a huge benefit to an antenna system faced with adverse weather conditions. A radome will reduce lifecycle maintenance costs and allow for better antenna uptime during significant weather events.

Key Design Features

Years of experience supplying radomes provides the ITIRCS team insight few others have. We have experience with specific elements of antenna design and operation which are critical to proper radome design. That allows us to design for better performance of the antenna housed within the radome.

RF Performance

Sandwich composite radomes are superior to metal space frame radomes in applications with relatively narrow frequency bands or potentially at multiple discrete frequencies. Multi-band performance is often possible when coupling IEEE L and S band with other higher frequency bands. ITIRCS has sandwich constructions that provide suitable performance at Ka band and beyond in some applications. The tuned flanges utilized in ITIRCS radomes results in excellent sidelobe performance for sensitive Satcom applications.

For each application, the mechanical and RF requirements are evaluated to establish an optimum solution or configuration.
