  • Patent number: 5528249
    Abstract: An anti-ice radome having a frequency selective surface and a plurality of resistive heating elements is disclosed. The frequency selective surface prevents the resistive heating elements from disturbing the electromagnetic waves generated by an antenna within the radome. Thus, ice formation on the radome can be prevented without sacrificing the transmission characteristics of the radome.
