The present invention relates to a radome measuring system configured to perform a radome measurement comprising. The system can comprise at least one transmission antenna, that can be configured for emitting electromagnetic waves and at least one receiving antenna, that can be configured for receiving electromagnetic waves and a measuring device, that can be configured to measure at least one difference between the transmitted and received electromagnetic waves for inferring a feature of a radome that can be positioned between the at least one transmission antenna and the at least one receiving antenna. The present invention also relates to a method of measuring the effects of a radome on electromagnetic waves traversing through the radome, using the radome measuring system, the method comprising providing a radome between at least one transmission antenna and at least one receiving antenna and triggering the at least one transmission antenna to radiate electromagnetic waves and receiving the transmitted electromagnetic waves at the at least one receiving antenna and measuring at least one difference between the transmitted and received electromagnetic waves and inferring a feature of the radome based on the at least one difference between the transmitted and received electromagnetic waves.
