Publication number: 20250015488Abstract: A decorative radome includes a first layer comprising a radio-transmissive polymer, the first layer having a front surface; a second layer comprising a radio-transmissive polymer, the second layer having a rear surface; and a decorative layer, between at least a portion of the first and second layer, comprising a layer of metal or an alloy comprising a metal and a metalloid. The second layer directly or indirectly abuts the decorative layer and is directly adhesion bound or indirectly connected to the first layer, wherein at least one of the first or second layers is comprised of a polymer formed by overmolding at a barrel nozzle temperature below 300 degrees Celsius.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Inventors: Dean Caruso, Simon Belcher, Scott Edwards, Tim Symonds, Garry Gordon Leslie Fimeri, Bastian Stoehr
