The mathematical model of antenna and antenna-radome system

Methods, algorithms and programs for calculation by computer of the characteristics of the antenna and the antenna-radome system (ARS) are developed. The type of antenna considered is the phased antenna array (PAA) or the cophase antenna with a mechanical beam control (an antenna array - AA). Radome shape is spherical, quasi-conic or flattened ellipsoid. Radome shell is multilayer ( N/spl ges/1), same-thickness, or special profile. Errors in the manufacture of the antenna are taken into account. Programs designed for optimization of radome shell are discussed.
