Challenges DRISHTI
Development of X-band Pressure Tight Radome for radar application
Molded Pressure Tight Radome to be developed for radar application to withstand 45 bar hydrostatic pressure
Radome to be molded around the radar Antenna. It must withstand 45 bar hydrostatic pressure and also have insertion loss < 1.5 dB at X-band (9.1-9.5 GHz)
● Molding to meet 45 bar hydrostatic pressure
● RF Insertion loss < 1.5 dB
● Antenna beam should not be distorted
● Size of Antenna with Radome – 1000 (W)x156 (H)x220 (D) mm
It will be used in underwater naval platform for navigation purpose
Pressure Testing for 45 bar hydrostatic pressure and RF radiation pattern measurement
