What is a radome?

A radome (a portmanteau of "radar" and "dome") is a structural, weatherproof enclosure that protects a radar or antenna system. Constructed from materials transparent to radio waves, such as fiberglass, radomes shield antennas from environmental elements like wind, rain, and debris without interfering with signal transmission. They are commonly used in outdoor wireless deployments to ensure the longevity and performance of antenna systems.
