Abstract

The system and method for an additively manufactured radome for a cavity backed notch comprising at least one lattice structure wherein the antenna works over any 4:1 bandwidth, from VHF to mmW. In some cases, the radome lattice has a density that changes with distance from the antenna. In some cases multiple antennas are used for direction finding. The radome may be additively manufactured from glass-loaded polymer or other materials having a low dielectric constant. In some cases, the radome has a dielectric contract that approaches that of air.
