Antennas are commonly encased in radomes in order to avoid undesired weather effects on reflector antenna performance. This in turn result to the occurrence of far-field pattern distortions. The effect of radome has been studied previously using traditional approach, in which inaccurate results were generally obtained. In the analysis presented, the Green's function approach that accounts for the radome is combined with the Method of Regularization (MoR) for solving the scattering from reflector accurately. A directive feed is simulated in an equally accurate manner using the complex source point (CSP) concept. Considered to be significant in this study is the fact that when the real-space edge diffraction points are blended with complex-space reflection points, no problems occurring in ray-tracing analyses appeared.
