Specifically, MOM is first applied to the antenna to find the current on its surface, and then the equivalent PO currents produced by the antenna radiation are assumed on the radome wall. When the coupling of the PO currents and antenna current is considered, the coupling matrix is divided into a series of partial matrices, in order to deduce the memory requirement and accelerate the evaluation process. Numerical results indicate that the proposed hybrid PO-MOM method is accurate and efficient.展开更多

The problem is formulated using the Poggio-Miller-Chang-Harrington- Wu（PMCHW） approach for homogeneous dielectric objects and the electric field integral equation for conducting objects. The integral equations are discretized by the method of moment （MoM）, in which the conducting and dielectric surface/interfaces are represented by curvilinear triangular patches and the unknown equivalent electric and magnetic currents are expanded using curvilinear RWG basis functions. The resultant matrix equation is then solved by the multilevel fast multipole algorithm （MLFMA） and fast far-field approximation （FAFFA） is used to further accelerate the computation. The radiation patterns of dipole arrays in the presence of radomes are presented. The numerical results demonstrate the accuracy and versatility of this method.展开更多

A novel and simple compensation strat- egy based on phase modification is proposed for large reflector antenna-radome systems. Through moving the feed or sub-reflector along axial direction opportunely, the modification of phase distribution in the original aperture of an enclosed reflector antenna can be used to reduce the phase shift caused by composite material radomes. The distortion of far-field pattern can be minimized. The modification formulas are proposed, and the limitation of their application is also discussed. Numerical simulations for a one-piece composite materials sandwich radome and a 40 m multipartite composite materials sandwich radome verify that the novel compensation strategy achieves sat- isfactory compensated results, and improves the distortion of the far-field pattern for the composite material radomes. For one-piece dielectric radome, more than 60% phasedifference caused by radome is reduced. For multipartite radome, the sidelobe level improves about 1.2 dB, the nulling depth improves about 3 dB. The improvement of far-field pattern could be obtained effectively and simply by moving the feed or sub-reflector according to phase shift of the radome.展开更多

But it is only used for sum pattern calculation till now, and BSE is calculated by the beam maximum searching method. In this paper, the aperture distribution for difference pattern is formulated as the product of that for sum pattern and a two dimensional periodic window function. A series representation for the spectrum of difference pattern is then obtained according to the convolution theorem. The truncation error of the series has been analyzed by introducing the coverage radius of the spectrum of sum pattern. Based on this representation, the PWS SI technique is extended to difference pattern calculation of radome enclosed antennas. The BSE of a three dimensional multilayered radome, with thickness tapers in all layers, is calculated through the difference pattern null searching. Owing to the steep slope of difference pattern near the nulls, this method for BSE calculation is more stable and reliable than the original beam maximum searching method in PWS SI analysis. The results are compared with those from aperture integration surface integration (AI SI) analysis and the measured ones.展开更多

In this method, the radome is discretized by a regular grid with rooftop basic functions. The Volume Integral Equation (VIE) for 3D dielectric object is transformed to linear system by Galerkin’s testing formulation. Furthermore, the linear system is presented by Toeplitz matrix which can be solved by the Conjugate Gradient algorithm combined with Fast Fourier Transform (CG-FFT) iteratively. Also, the algorithm requires less computational complexity and memory. This paper simulates the mono-static Radar Cross Section of dielectric radome by the CG-FFT, which was validated against commercial software FEKO.展开更多

The AFSS is a planar structure which is composed of a fixed frequency-selective surface（FSS）, a PIN diodes array, and a DC bias network. The AFSS elements incorporating switchable PIN diodes are discussed. By means of controlling the DC bias network, it is possible to switch the frequency response for reflecting and transmitting. Measured and simulated data validate that when the incidence angle varies from 0°to 30° the AFSS produces more than-11.5 dB isolation across6–18 GHz when forward biased. The insertion loss（IL） is less than 0.5 dB across 10–11 GHz when reverse biased.展开更多
