  • Wideband radome design
    Patent number: 11984655
    Abstract: A radome structure may include an inner tuning layer component and a laminate component overlying the inner tuning layer component. The inner tuning layer component may include a thermoset foam or a thermoplastic foam. The laminate component may include a first fiber reinforced dielectric layer, a second fiber reinforced dielectric layer overlying the first fiber reinforced dielectric layer, and a third fiber reinforced dielectric layer overlying the second fiber reinforced dielectric layer. The first fiber reinforced dielectric layer may include a first low dielectric constant material. The second fiber reinforced dielectric layer may include a first high dielectric constant material. The third fiber reinforced dielectric layer may include a second low dielectric constant material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 12, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 14, 2024
    Assignee: SAINT-GOBAIN PERFORMANCE PLASTICS CORPORATION

  • Radome design
    Patent number: 11380984
    Abstract: A radome structure may include a structural component, an inner tuning layer component underlying the structural component and an outer tuning layer component overlaying the structural component. The structural component may include a first fiber-reinforced dielectric layer that may include a first fiber-reinforced polymer. The inner tuning layer component may include a first inner tuning layer that may include a second fiber-reinforced polymer. The outer tuning layer component may include a first outer tuning layer that may include a third fiber-reinforced polymer.
