The desired problem is reduced to finding fields of a plane wave diffracted on the "symmetrized" radome. The passage of the wave through the wall of the radome is analysed by means of geometrical optics. Caustic influence is taken into account, and the contribution of stationary phase points of reflected field to the far-side radiation is discussed. Radiation patterns for antennas with a specified ampliphase distribution enclosed in spherical and parabolic radomes are analysed. © 2010 IEEE.EnglishA-planeAperture antennasImage theoryIntegral representationRadiation patternsReflected fieldsStationary phase pointThrough the wallDirectional patterns (antenna)Electric fieldsElectromagnetismMathematical modelsParabolic antennasRadomesConference Paper10.1109/MMET.2010.5611406
