Monotonicity-Based Interval Analysis Methods of Half-Wave Wall Radomes With Thickness and Permittivity Errors
IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation(2022)
Abstract
The complex relation between permittivity and transmission coefficients has been a great obstacle to the interval-based tolerance analysis of radomes. This work presents two monotonicity-based methods (global/local) to facilitate precise interval analysis (IA) of half-wave-wall radomes with thickness and permittivity errors. The global monotonicity method reveals that the key parameters of radome transmission coefficients decrease monotonously with permittivity under a loose constraint in the form of
$\vert $
tan(x)
$\vert \le \text {x}$
, which makes the IA of permittivity errors as simple/accurate as thickness errors. The local monotonicity method, with no premises and less accuracy, treats the two correlative parts of the key parameters independently and can be a potential supplement to the global one. Results of spherical radomes and tangent ogival radomes indicate that the monotonicity-based methods can well improve the IA precision, and the global monotonicity method applies to general cases.
