Patent ID: 8599095

Claim:
A radio frequency assembly comprising: a radome cover, comprising: a first and second ballistic layer, the first ballistic layer comprising a first ceramic layer, the second ballistic layer comprising a second ceramic layer, each ceramic layer having a dielectric constant greater than six, and at least two matching layers, the first and the second ballistic layers being sandwiched between the at least two matching layers, the at least two matching layers impedance matched to the first and the second ballistic layers for a frequency band; backing plates disposed between the first and second ceramic layers and between one of the first and second ceramic layers and a proximal one of the at least two matching layers; and at least one radio frequency component disposed beneath the radome cover, wherein the first and second ceramic layers have a dielectric constant greater than 6, the at least two matching layers have a dielectric constant of less than 3.5 and the backing plates have a dielectric constant between 3 and 7.
