These radomes with Dyneema® feature exceptional properties designed to achieve optimal performance across all satellite mobility use-cases. Radomes are essential to shield satellite communications antennas from adverse weather and harsh conditions but are often bulky, heavy, difficult to manage, and can reduce an antenna’s efficiency. The companies are working together under a long-term agreement to leverage Phasor’s unique knowledge in the field of ESAs, and DSM’s extensive experience with advanced Ultra High Molecular Weight PolyEthylene (UHMWPE materials) for use in radio frequency (RF) applications.
