  • Patent number: 10651550
    Abstract: The invention relates to a radome comprising a substantially sheet-type front plate the front face of which is transparent and the rear face of which is provided with an opaque layer, at least one cut-out being provided in the opaque layer and acting as a light passage; a reflective region of the sheet-type front plate, said reflective region being arranged adjacently to the cut-out; at least one substantially sheet-type light guide situated on the rear face of the opaque layer; and at least one light-emitting element which is coupled to the light guide such that light enters said light guide, propagates through the at least one light guide, is reflected on the reflective region, and enters the transparent front plate at said at least one light passage such that the light is emitted from the front face of the front plate.

  • Patent number: 10539657
    Abstract: The invention relates to a radome comprising: a substantially sheet-type front plate, the front face of which is transparent and the rear face of which is provided with an opaque layer, at least one cut-out being provided in the opaque layer to act as a light exit; at least one substantially sheet-type light guide situated on the rear face on the opaque layer; and at least one light-emitting element, which is coupled to the light guide so that light enters said light guide, propagates through the at least one light guide, and enters the transparent front plate at the at least one light exit, so that the light is emitted from the front face of the front plate.
