Evaluation of a double-lens dielectric radome using a microstrip patch antenna for electromagnetic applications by Taehoon Kim, Sathish Kumar, C.V. Ravikumar, Shafiq Ahmad, Karuna Yepuganti, P. Srinivasa Varma

“…The antenna systems are protected from environmental influences by radomes, which are dielectric and electromagnetically transparent structures. Because the presence of the radome affects the performance parameters of the antenna, such as the radiation pattern, reflected power, and side lobe level, its design should not be done independently of the antenna analysis. …”
