Abstract: Radome for vehicles comprising a light source (28); a front unit (9) comprising a transparent layer (11) and a colored decoration layer (5); and a reflective light guide unit (10) comprising a light guide (13) and a reflective subunit (14), the front unit (9) and the reflective light guide unit (10) containing a layer (16) with a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the light guide (13) between them, wherein the reflective subunit (14) comprises a reflective layer (22), the reflective subunit (14) forms an integral single part with the light guide (13), positioned on its face opposite to the front unit (9). The usage of a reflective unit at the rear of the light guide avoids the need of an air gap at the rear surface of the light guide, and the removal of the rear air gap improves the transmission performance of the radome.

Abstract: The radome (10) for vehicles comprises a substrate (18) formed of a radio transmissive resin, the substrate (18) having a proximal face and a distal face and a decoration layer (20) applied to the proximal face, the decoration layer (20) comprising a metalloid or a metalloid alloy deposited on the surface of the proximal face, wherein said metalloid or metalloid alloy is combined with at least one oxide. It improves the metalloid decoration layer adhesion on the substrate and its corrosion resistance.

Abstract: Disclosed is a decorative element for vehicles, which comprises: on the rear part thereof, an opaque resin base (8) and a camera, the resin base having a thickness that allows the camera (9) to be positioned; and on the front part thereof, a layer of transparent resin (2) on which two decorative layers, a discontinuous opaque layer (3) and a metallic-looking layer (4), are disposed, wherein the camera is placed facing one of the discontinuities of the opaque layer (3), and wherein the metallic-looking layer (4) comprises an alloy of Cr or Mo with Al, Mg, Ag or In. By means of the metallic-looking layer, color distortion is prevented, and the camera is concealed from an external observer.

Abstract: The radome (1) for vehicles comprises a frontal transparent layer (5); a metal-looking decoration layer (7); a rear layer (10); an adhesion promoter layer (8) placed between the metal-looking decoration layer (7) and the rear layer (10); and a colored decoration layer (6) placed between the frontal transparent layer (5) and the metal-looking decoration layer (7). The method for manufacturing said radome comprises the steps of forming said layers, so that the adhesion promoter layer (8) is placed between the metal-looking decoration layer (7) and the rear layer (10), and the colored decoration layer (6) is placed between the frontal transparent layer (5) and the metal-looking decoration layer (7). It permits to provide a radome in which there is no air gap between its plastic molded parts, enhancing its performance to transmit the radar emitted and received waves.

Abstract: The radome for vehicles comprises a radio transmissive transparent layer (9) and a decorative element (6), wherein the decorative element (6) comprises a brightness and tone element (62) comprising a metal layer (621) and one or more metalloid layers (622). The brightness and tone element (62) preferably comprises two metalloid layers (622, 623), each metalloid layer being made from a different metalloid. It permits to provide a radome for vehicles that allows to match a wider range of appearance specifications (brightness and color tone) defined by the car manufacturers.

Abstract: A radome (10) for vehicles defining a proximal side and a distal side, comprising a base layer (1) formed of a radio transmissive resin, the base layer (1) defining a proximal face and a distal face; a decoration layer (2) applied to the proximal face of the base layer (1), the decoration layer (2) comprising a metalloid or a metalloid alloy; characterized in that the radome (10) also comprises an anti-reflective coating (4) placed proximal with respect to the decoration layer (2). The anti-reflection layer will eliminate the high reflecting disturbances introduced by the top coat, which will significantly improve radome aesthetics.
