Abstract
A dielectric window (radome) often used as a protective cover for antennas is considered for the comparison of the impedance transformation concept with the tracing of multiply reflected plane waves in the window. The general case of oblique incidence for a parallel-polarized wave is studied. Using a personal computer, the reflection coefficient is calculated numerically and shown to be identical using the two methods.<>
