The results of this paper can be used to analyze the radiation pattern of airborne antenna and to optimize the airborne antenna disposition.

Multilayer radome will exert a tremendous influence on low sidelobe antenna pattern. Integrated directivity analysis of antenna with radome will be helpful to airborne antenna optimization design.

While most conventional airborne radars rely on some form of mechanically scanned antenna to transmit and receive signals, active electronically scanned array (AESA) sensors employ a fixed aperture.
