POLARIZATION INSENSITIVIE RADOMES FOR HIGH SPEED MISSILES

FOUR DESIGN TECHNIQUES WILL BE EVALUATED AND RADOME MATERIALS WILL BE SELECTED TO OBTAIN DESIGNS FOR POLARIZATION INSENSITIVITY RADOMES FOR HIGH SPEED MISSILE APPLICATIONS. THE FOUR TECHNIQUES WILL INCLUDE THE DIELECTRIC RING/STRIP, WIRE GRID, ANISTROPIC PATCH AND ANISTROPIC FABRIC METHODS. COMPUTER ANALYSIS AND LIMITED FLAT PANEL TESTING WILL BE PERFORMED TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE DESIGNS SELECTED. THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR'S EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN THE AREAS OF COMPUTER MODELING, MATERIAL EVALUATION AND TESTING WILL ENSURE PRACTICAL AND USABLE RESULTS FROM PHASE I.
