Abstract :
The method of equivalent surface currents on the illuminated side of a multilayered antenna radome for calculation of reflection and transfer coefficients is suggested. The effects of antenna gain decreasing and the main lobe shifting are analyzed. The multilayered radome properties are calculated with tensor Green´s functions.
