Abstract
A model for calculating the field scattered by the antenna of an aircraft radar with consideration for the radome is described. Backscattering patterns of phased antenna arrays with and without a radome are presented. Substantial contribution of diffraction lobes into the radar visibility of the antenna is noted.
