Abstract
This document describes facia, including parts of vehicles, for supporting an ultra-wide radar field-of-view, for example, in automotive contexts. The facia is configured as a radome for supporting an ultra-wide field-of-view with an antenna despite the facia obstructing a field of view. The facia has one exterior surface or interior surface this is a mostly smooth or has a pattern of hemispherical indentations or domes that are configured to reduce reflections off that surface and increase light transmission through the facia. The other of the exterior or interior surface, has a pattern of hemispherical indentations or domes that are configured to reduce reflections off that surface and further increase light transmission through the facia.
