Buying Guide

Technical parameters explained

Customers do not need to be radome engineers, but several parameters strongly affect whether a cover can be specified correctly.

Submit parameters

Radome RF testing

Frequency band

The operating band affects material, wall structure and RF review. Send the exact band or range whenever possible.

Antenna size

The equipment envelope determines internal clearance, radome diameter, base interface and installation access.

Truncation height

For some sites, the desired shell height or cut height matters as much as the diameter because it affects clearance and structure.

Insertion loss

The target loss in dB should match the equipment's performance tolerance and frequency band.

Altitude

High altitude can affect wind, temperature, snow, ice, UV and logistics assumptions.

Country and site environment

Country and site conditions help define standards, corrosion exposure, climate and installation planning.

Connected next steps

Apply these parameters to a product family

Once frequency, size, loss target and site environment are clear, continue to the radome product page that matches the project.

Not sure yet

Start with project situation, protected equipment and site environment before choosing a radome type.
