A method for fabricating multi-layer ceramic broadband radome includes thermal-spraying layers of coating materials on the radome. The assembled structure exhibits tuned RF transparency response depending on the thickness and the dielectric constant of the deposited layers. Sub-micron thick ceramic layers, which are essential for broadband performance and hard to produce due to their fragile nature, can be deposited on big and complex objects by a fast and automated process.
