Abstract
The electric far field radiation pattern is determined for a
uniformly illuminated, linearly polarized circular aperture
transmitting through a dielectric radome located in the near
field of the aperture. A modified electric field integral
equation is solved using the method of moments procedure and
the thin shell approximation for dielectrics. The resulting
solution was computer coded for ogive and spherical radome
shapes. The program is designed in a modular fashion to
accommodate the addition of different antenna types,
illumination functions, or radome shapes.
