The radome of the antenna is a protection of the radiating elements. The influence of the radome on the radiation of the antenna is included in the pattern of the antenna – but in MASC the influence (mainly shielding) of the radome on other antennas mounted at the same mast is considered.
The cross-section of radomes are either circular cylinders (for omnidirectional antennas)
or rectangular (for sector antennas). Of course, you can select the cross section of the
radomes individually for each antenna.Figure 1. Example for the radome of an omnidirectional antenna (a) and a sector antenna
(b).
