ANTENNA DOME Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H01Q1/42 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: antenna dome comprises (joined by an elastic organosilicon-based adhesive) a ceramic cap a recess made on its inner surface, metal stiffening rings and a coupling adapter, a metal split ring, connected to each other by fastening elements and elastic organosilicon-based adhesive and mating surfaces. The end of the ceramic cap is mated with a support metal ring, and a recess is made on the inner surface of the ceramic cap, in which the metal split ring is inserted on the mating surfaces, wherein the length of the split ring is comparable with that of the stiffening ring, and is provided with a shoulder which is inserted into the matching groove of the support ring. The support ring is connected to the metal stiffening ring by locking members in form of radially directed dowels, and to the coupling adapter immovably by screws on the circular touching surface and through corresponding chamfers on the ends of the touching surfaces.

EFFECT: longer operating mode by maintaining a strong metal-ceramic bond when the dome is exposed to force and thermal action.
