Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A radome-reflector assembly includes a generally domed reflector having a peripheral rim and a radome assembly. The radome assembly includes: an annular ring having a front wall and a side wall: a disk that fits within the ring: and an RF-compliant absorber, wherein the rim of the reflector fits within the side wall. The radome assembly further comprises a clip that engages the rim and the ring to secure the reflector to the radome assembly.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
That which is claimed is: 1. A radome-reflector assembly, comprising: a generally domed reflector having a peripheral rim; and a radome assembly attached to the reflector, the radome assembly comprising: an annular ring having a front wall and a side wall; a disk that fits within the ring; and an RF-compliant absorber; wherein the rim of the reflector fits within the side wall; and further comprising a clip that engages the reflector rim and the ring to secure the reflector to the radome assembly, wherein the clip comprises a capture member extending forwardly from a rear edge of the ring side wall such that an inner surface of the capture member faces the ring side wall, and wherein the capture member is configured to contact the reflector rim and deflect toward the ring side wall and then recover to an undeflected position as the radome assembly is attached to the reflector. 2. The assembly defined in claim 1 , wherein the clip includes a front wall that overlies the front wall of the ring, and a side wall that overlies the side wall of the ring, and wherein the capture member secures the reflector relative to the radome assembly. 3. The assembly defined in claim 2 , wherein the clip includes hooks that grip an underside of the front wall of the ring. 4. The assembly defined in claim 2 , wherein the capture member comprises a flexible finger. 5. The assembly defined in claim 2 , wherein the capture member extends through a hole in the ring. 6. The assembly defined in claim 2 , wherein the capture member extends through an opening in the rim of the reflector. 7. The assembly defined in claim 1 , wherein the clip includes a groove that receives the rim of the reflector.
