Abstract

A radome structure may include an inner tuning layer component and a laminate component overlying the inner tuning layer component. The inner tuning layer component may include a thermoset foam or a thermoplastic foam. The laminate component may include a first fiber reinforced dielectric layer, a second fiber reinforced dielectric layer overlying the first fiber reinforced dielectric layer, and a third fiber reinforced dielectric layer overlying the second fiber reinforced dielectric layer. The first fiber reinforced dielectric layer may include a first low dielectric constant material. The second fiber reinforced dielectric layer may include a first high dielectric constant material. The third fiber reinforced dielectric layer may include a second low dielectric constant material.
