Abstract
A radome wall construction is provided which includes a sandwich of impact resistant thermoplastic closed cell foam core bounded by epoxy/quartz laminate facings. The facings are dimensioned to be a half wavelength wall for a 94 GHz wave and thinwall for a 9.345 GHz wave. The radome wall can be used for making radomes for aircraft while maintaining satisfactory transmission efficiency for both the X-band weather radar and W-band imaging radar.
