Abstract
A method for designing an antenna including defining an operating frequency of an antenna radiating element located within an antenna cavity structure; determining a non-loaded depth of the antenna cavity structure; determining a reduced depth of the antenna cavity structure; determining a reduction factor to reduce the non-loaded depth to the reduced depth; and selecting a dielectric material, at least partially forming a radome structure covering the antenna radiating element, to achieve the reduction factor.
