Abstract
In this paper, a one-dimensional Brent’s method based on inverse parabolic interpolation is proposed for detection of antenna radiation pattern peak. The computational efficiency of Brent’s method is compared to that of the golden section search method. It will be shown that the Brent’s method requires less number of function evaluations to reach the desired accuracy and hence superior. The Brent’s method is then incorporated into 3D ray tracing method to compute the performance parameters of streamlined airborne radome and optimize the radome wall thickness. The resulting radome design is found to have a satisfactory performance for airborne applications.
