Abstract
The strategy of fostering a cost-effective radome structure is still a dreadful task for technical communities. Therefore, as a necessary consequence, the broadband electromagnetic performance analysis of monolithic, A-sandwich, B-sandwich, and C-sandwich radome wall configurations is undertaken using the equilibrium optimization (EO) approach. The geometrical design variables of radome structures have been optimized under precise limiting conditions of strong transmission and lower radome layer thickness. The power transmission characteristics are obtained for optimal radome configurations in the range of 1 GHz to 18 GHz. It is observed that the C-sandwich radome configuration has achieved paramount transmission properties among all the configurations. The power transmission efficiency is found to be more than 90% all over the broadband range, and the maximum transmission efficiency is 99.5% at 9.5 GHz. The results reflect the potential of the proposed radome structure for various practical applications.
