Abstract
A technique for manufacturing a domed housing, including a transreflector element for use in a microwave antenna. The dome incorporates a metallic polarizing grid as part of a complex curved shape using an insert mold process. As a result, the transreflector component can be inexpensively formed as an integral part of the supporting structure and any alignment features, without the need for additional molding steps or multiple component parts.
