| Air-Supported Radomes:
Saint-Gobain's high-performance RAYDEL® air-supported radomes shield antenna systems while maintaining optimum electromagnetic performance. RAYDEL® radomes have a clear advantage over rigid designs since there is no framework (either metallic or dielectric) or bolted panel joints to interfere with broadband RF performance. Factory assembled into a single piece, the avoidance of field joints insures a permanent watertight enclosure. |
Saint-Gobain has developed a complete line of commercially available standard radome systems with sizes ranging from 10' to 140' in diameter for various design wind speeds. For commercial pricing for these standard systems, procede here.

Built in 1962, the radome represents the extensive experience of Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics in providing reliable products meeting critical requirements.
Planar Radomes:
Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics line of RAYDEL® planar radomes (or antenna covers) provide protection against snow, water and ice for point-to-point microwave communication antennas.
Rigid Panel Radomes:
Using a proprietary process, PTFE is fused to only one side of a RAYDEL® fiberglass substrate, permitting fabrication of special rigid panel radomes on foams or frames.
Special Configurations:
With over 50 years of experience designing and fabricating radome systems, Saint-Gobain has the capabilities to develop various special configurations which may vary from the normal planar or spherical designs.
