Radome Boresight Error Optimization by Array Pointing

WANG Wei

Abstract: Aiming at the boresight error control problem in the radome design, based on the analysis of the space radiation characteristics of the masked array antenna, a method for controlling the boresight error of the radome through the iterative optimization of array pointing is proposed. By optimizing a 16-element array antenna with a 4-phase shifter and a tangent oval radome system, it is verified that the method can effectively complete the design of the antenna system with a cover.
