Radome Thickness Calculator and Calculation

This page provides a radar radome thickness calculator along with the formula used for the calculation. We’ll also define what a radome is and its purpose.

The term “Radome” is derived from “Radar Dome.” It’s a protective enclosure designed to shield a radar antenna, or any other wireless antenna, from environmental elements.

Inputs

Outputs

The following calculator requires the radar carrier frequency (operating frequency) as input and outputs the radome thickness. The relative permittivity of the radome material is also needed as input for accurate calculations.

Example:

  • INPUT: Fc = 24.125 GHz, εr = 2.9
  • OUTPUT: radome thickness = 3.6 mm , λm = 0.0073

Radome Thickness Formula

The following equation is used for radome thickness calculation:
