This SpringerBrief details various techniques employed for enhancing the transmission efficiency of radomes by modifying the radome wall configurations. These broadbanding techniques are based on inclusion of metallic wire-grids/meshes in the radomewalls, inclusion of metallic strip-gratings in the radome layers, inclusion of FSS based structures in between the radome layers and the use of inhomogeneous dielectric structures as radome wall. The volume provides detailed chapter-wise explanation of the design aspects and discusses the performance analysis of the modified radome wall configurations. It will be of interest to researchers, academicians and students working in the field of radomes.
