RADOME TECHNOLOGY EXPERTS

For over a decade USDigiComm (USD) has established an international reputation for providing services related to mathematical modeling and analysis of radome enclosed antennas.  Our qualifications are demonstrated by authorship of Radome Enclosed Antennas, Artech House (2010), the Seeker antenna chapter in the Antenna Engineering Handbook, McGraw Hill (2007), and numerous other related publications.

These services can greatly reduce your costs in radome development by minimizing empirical iterations.  We can also provide radome analysis software to support radome analysis projects.  We are knowledgeable in aircraft, missile, maritime and terrestrial radomes, in both the microwave and millimeter wave spectrum.

USD Software treats standard radome shapes and wall designs.  Specialized or irregular shapes and wall designs (including ultra-broadband or multiple bandpass) can be analyzed through our consulting services.

One hundred percent of all aircraft and missile antennas and over eighty-five percent of all terrestrial and marine antennas are enclosed in radomes. Radomes can greatly deteriorate the performance of the enclosed antennas. In this age of broadband devices, the maximum usable frequency bandwidth is often constrained by the radome and not the electronics.  Radomes also increase antenna sidelobe levels, depolarization, axial ratio, bandwidth, antenna noise temperature, increased boresight error, registration error and transmission loss.
