1
Design
Our radomes are designed to have minimal effect on antenna RF signals while maintaining structural integrity in different environments, such as subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic conditions. We work with the customer to design the radome and mount to ensure ease and quick installation.
2
Develop
The overall performance of the radome (and antenna) assembly is optimized by determining the best materials and thickness of the radomes, as well as the location of the antenna within the radome.
3
Produce
Manufacturing engineers develop assembly processes and techniques to ensure products are fully compliant with specification requirements. We have established workstations,consistent with Lean Manufacturing techniques and principles to stream-line the production orders.
4
Test
Electrical testing may be accomplished on the full size ground planes that simulate installation on the actual platform. If the radome reflections are strong or if multiple antennas are under the same radome, an absorber isolation system is used to tune the assembly.
