The variations of the directivity of the source beam with respect to the beam direction are studied. The possibility of damping these variations by an appropriate design of the radome is demonstrated.EnglishComplex sourceGratingsMetal-dielectric gratingsAntenna radiationElectromagnetic wave propagationRadomesArticle10.1109/8.791946
