HEAD FAIRING OF ROCKET Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: SHF antenna equipment. SUBSTANCE: invention refers to head fairings of homing devices of antiaircraft rockets. Proposed head fairing is made from glass cloth-based laminate. Several rows of self-tapping screws are located in pumping zone of antenna inside fairing to increase its thermal stability. Screws and rows of screws are spaced by approximately (1.6-1.8)λ, where l is wave length in free space. Distance between screws is so chosen that it does not practically influence radio engineering characteristics of head antenna fairing of rocket. EFFECT: increased thermal stability of fairing. 1 dwg
