Research abstract
Reinforced composite materials suitable for use in submarine radomes will be investigated, which will provide improved structural characteristics compared to current NORYL radomes. RF transmission performance of these cyanate-ester based materials is anticipated to be superior to that of traditional reinforced epoxy-based materials due to lower inherent loss properties. The proposed program will involve fabrication and testing of sample panels of the materials to determine structural and electrical properties. RF performance will be modelled over a 2-40 GHz bandwidth and compared with the performance of NORYL and traditional epoxy materials. This will facilitate the most realistic comparison of performance between NORYL and cyanate-ester and, if successful, lay the ground-work for timely availability of an alternate radome material more suitable for submarine applications.
