Peter,
I'm not sure if you're still looking for ideas but I ran across this article
which explains in a lot of detail the design of the radome for a GPS
antenna:

> and the microwave oven test leave them absolutely cold.
> The size is 3.8" (98mm) at the top and the height is about 3.2" (80mm).

> covered by a on top rounded cone (like a rocket noise) made of thin PE
> (colorless).
> If I remove the sponge a ceramic patch can be placed inside the pot and

> heating.
> The cone material seems to be very even in thickness, its no problem to

> I think I will try both.
