A Right Angle Antenna with Radome. We analyzed a right angle antenna located in the center of a dielectric ellipsoid-shell radome (semiprincipal axes a = 1 meter, b =1 meter, and c = 0.5 meters); the thickness of the radome is 0.25 meters, the relative electric permittivity is 3.0, and the relative permeability is 1.0.
