Optimization of the radiotransparent constructions in a mode of extreme heat loads

An experimental method has been developed for optimizing the composition of multilayer radiotransparent structures operating under extreme thermal loads. To optimize the composition of the layers of the radiotransparent radome researchers for the following materials with structures of the glass filler are carried out: glass-fiber laminate (GFR-CM), reinforced quartz material of SiO2–SiO2 class (HTRC-CM), organosilicon rubber with a ground mica filler (TCT). The parameters of the heat loads that cause physicochemical transformations in radiotransparent materials and significantly affect the transmission and reflection coefficients of materials, as well as their complex permittivity, are determined. It is shown that the decrease in the transmission coefficient for the construction made of HTRC-CM material is up to 3–4 dB in the frequency range from 2 to 40 GHz, and for constructions made of GFR-CM+TCT is up to 25 dB, respectively. As a result, the radome made of ceramic matrix composite HTRC-CM has the best radiotransparency characteristics.
