Abstract

An algorithm for calculation of a compensation layer with variable thickness on the surface of an RF-transparent radome is proposed to reduce boresight errors. The algorithm is used to calculate the profile of the compensation layer of an axisymmetric radio-transparent antenna radome. The results of calculation and measurement of boresight errors for the radome with the compensation layer are presented.
