Frequently Asked Questions

What Materials are Radomes Made of?

Radomes are typically constructed from lightweight, durable materials such as fiberglass, composites, or reinforced plastics. These materials allow radomes to protect antennas from harsh environmental conditions while maintaining signal integrity. SAS offers installation and repair services tailored to each material type, ensuring your radome remains in peak condition.

How Often Should Radomes Be Inspected?

Radomes should be inspected at least annually, or more frequently in areas with extreme weather conditions. SAS provides comprehensive inspection and maintenance services, identifying and resolving issues like surface damage, leaks, or structural wear before they impact your communication systems.

How Does Radome Shape Affect Performance?

Radome shapes range from hemispherical and geodesic to ogive and conical. Hemispherical shapes generally have the least impact on antenna performance, while more aerodynamic shapes like the Von Karman profile are used for aerospace applications.

Does SAS Offer Radome Installation or Custom Solutions?

Yes, SAS specializes in radome installation and offers custom solutions to meet unique operational requirements. From initial design to final deployment, our team ensures precision and quality, enabling optimal protection and functionality for your antennas and communication equipment.
