1. A multi-octave thick dielectric radome wall comprising:
- a dielectric slab having a pair of surfaces and a predetermined dielectric constant;
a plurality of pyramidal-shaped dielectric elements, each having a predetermined dielectric constant and a base and a surface extending from said base terminated at a common vertex opposite said base, each element base mounted on at least one of said slab surfaces with said elements positioned adjacent one another; and
wherein the distance between said slab surfaces and the distance between each element base and respective common vertex is a function of said dielectric constants of said slab and said elements and an operational frequency band of said radome wall.

Abstract
A multi-octave thick dielectric radome wall which includes a dielectric slab having a pair of surfaces and a plurality of pyramidal-shaped dielectric elements mounted on at least one of the surfaces of the dielectric slab. The dielectric constant of the elements is typically greater than the dielectric constant of the slab. In an alternate embodiment, a second dielectric slab is provided adjacent to one of the first dielectric slab surfaces having the elements mounted thereupon with support means for supporting the second dielectric slab in a spaced apart relationship with the first dielectric slab.
