Where do I get the commercial antenna redome?
Where do I get the commercial antenna redome?
(OP)
Usually, Microwave point to point antenna use single dielectric to model redome.(e.g. ABS or PC). And the thickness is lambda/2 of the center frequency.
In order to reduce the weight of the redome and broaden its bandwidth, we want to adopt the three layer material to cover 6G~15G/18G~42G.(outside two layers are dielectric, center layer are zero permittivity reinforcement material).
The problem is the cost,I want to buy ready-to-use commercial sheet to cut out the diameter, and do not use any multi-layer modeling procedures by myself.
Do anybody know some company can provide such multi-layer redome material? Thank you very much!

Your frequency range is quite wide - basically 6 to 42 GHz. What sort of antenna?
Have you Googled: radome materials? Seems to be more than a few companies.

RE: Where do I get the commercial antenna redome?
Microwave point to point antenna are mostly parabolic antennas. And according to the ETSI standard, frequency are divided to lots of bands(6G,7&8G,10&11G,13G,15G,18G,23G,26G,28G,32G,38G,42G). One reason is the waveguide operation range, the other is the premium RPE templet. Different frequency band share one common radome can reduce the general cost.

I purchased a 20" diameter x 20" tall (approx. dimensions) unit from Raymarine (about $400), look at these radomes on this link and call them to buy the radome only.
