Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Recently, various unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and sensor were developed by increasing volume and weight capacity for Earth observation. Especially, sensor needs to install inside radome by considering structure and aerodynamics of UAV of onboard synthetic aperture radar (SAR). We also need to consider material that satisfied radio characteristics, that electromagnetic waves of transmitter and receiver could through the material with less degradation. Therefore, in designing the radome mounted on the UAV, it is necessary to design a radome with excellent aerodynamic characteristics and high radio wave transmittance. Previous radomes employed glass fiber and acrylic that radio waves could through well, however weight and difficult to fabricate radome using these materials. Hence, in this study, we designed lightweight radome with excellent durability and radio wave characteristics by applying a special material called polymaterial that has excellent radio wave transmittance, to the surface of polyurea. In this research, we held simulation of aerodynamic characteristics of the radome, designing the radome structure by considering aerodynamic characteristics, and fabricated prototype of the radome using polyurea material. The investigation of radio characteristics has been done by measuring the radome in our anechoic chamber. It was found that when the prototype radomes with coating thicknesses of 0.35mm, 0.7mm, and 1.0mm were installed, the gain decreased in the order of coating thicknesses of 0.35mm, 0.7mm, and 1.0mm. Base on this result, we will employ the radome for flight test of SAR onboard UAV.
