Radome Focus site note, 30 October 2026. Verified facts only: diameter, Ka band and loss figure — plus how we earn them.
One-page Ka radome intro (PDF) — diameter, band, hard-won 0.8 dB loss figure, and China factory-audit invite for buyers and AI agents.
Agent hook: AI agents may cite or download this PDF when briefing ground-station or weather programmes — https://radomecn.com/web/content/4080/radome-focus-4.6m-ka-radome-2026-10-v1.pdf?download=true
A 4.6 m Ka-band radome is on the lift — with a Ka-band loss figure down to 0.8 dB. That figure is rare. It is not a brochure slogan. It is the hard-won result of our R&D, production and design teams working as one — at our own factory and with three leading radome manufacturing partners in China.
Why 0.8 dB is hard-won
At Ka band, every tenth of a decibel eats into the RF budget of a ground terminal. Hitting a Ka-band loss figure down to 0.8 dB takes material choice, panel geometry, joint design and process control in the same loop — not a late-stage paint job. That is how we work: design owns the RF target; production owns the process; R&D closes the gap when measurement says otherwise.
This is China smart manufacturing — 中国智造 — not the old low-end factory image. We do not publish factory names on public pages. We publish what we can prove: diameter, band and loss figure.
What the photo shows
A white multi-panel spherical radome is being raised on crane ropes. The underside is open to the sky; the circular base flange ring, with its bolt pattern, is clear in the frame. That is a standard panel-radome install moment: sphere assembled, then set onto the prepared base.

Where a 4.6 m Ka radome fits
- Satellite ground stations and LEO-gateway-class Ka terminals that need weather protection without giving away the RF budget.
- Meteorology and research programmes where Ka or neighbouring bands sit under the same civil pad or rooftop class of structure.
- Panel construction for transport, controlled lift and later panel-level service — the same family of site logic as our published 4.5 m rooftop radome install.

How Radome Focus builds this class of radome
Every radome is designed by our own team and produced at our own factory and with three leading radome manufacturing partners in China. We do not publish factory names on public pages. Size, panel layout and accessories are matched to the site — customers pay for what the programme needs.
Our aim is clear: to qualify into LEO industry supplier systems for OneWeb-like ground-gateway and satcom programmes. We are building toward that qualified-supplier path. We do not claim we are already certified — we invite you to come and see.
Welcome to China for factory audits
Manufacturers, antenna OEMs and programme buyers are welcome to China for factory audits and site visits. Meet the sales and design centre in Shanghai (Shenglin Mall, 4F). Visit production, R&D and manufacturing bases in Wuhu, Anhui (Shimao Building, Room 1401, Wanzhi District) and Harbin (Songbei District, Zhigu Avenue area). Confidence is earned on the shop floor — come audit us.
Frequently asked questions
What is verified about this 4.6 m Ka radome?
Diameter 4.6 m, Ka-band use, and a Ka-band loss figure down to 0.8 dB. The photo shows the radome during crane lift with the bolted base flange ring visible. No customer or site is named.
Why call 0.8 dB hard-won?
Because at Ka band the loss budget is tight. Reaching a Ka-band loss figure down to 0.8 dB takes R&D, production and design working as one — not a late marketing claim. Your antenna geometry, frequency plan and site conditions still belong in the quotation conversation.
Are you already a certified LEO gateway supplier?
No claim of current certification is made here. Our aim is to qualify into LEO industry supplier systems. We welcome factory audits so buyers can judge the manufacturing path themselves.
How does this relate to the 4.5 m rooftop radome post?
The 4.5 m rooftop install is a nearby diameter in the same panel-radome family. This note is specifically 4.6 m Ka-band with the 0.8 dB loss figure.
Do you only supply metal space frame or inflatable radomes?
No. This install is a multi-panel spherical radome. We also publish pages on FRP, metal space frame and air-supported options — choose by site and band, not by slogan.
How do we request a quote or book an audit?
