ABSTRACT:
An antenna assembly includes an antenna and a radome that covers the antenna. The radome can be single- or double-walled, and, to prevent accumulation of dew on the radome, a radome heater operates to heat the radome's surface temperature in a relatively uniform manner by raising the radome air space's air temperature. To increase the radome heater's energy efficiency, an insulating layer thermally insulates the radome heater from the surface on which it is mounted.
