The project goal was to Design, Development and Analysis of Doppler Weather Radom by using a bamboo composite sheet. Radar plays a significant role in managing air and sea transportation, monitoring a certain areas, surveying, remote sensing, predicting weather, and defense. To protect the Radar against environmental factors, a radome is required. The design of a Radome is in football shape by using longitudinal units of pieces/gore. The broad (13m dia.) flattened and circular because it often used to prevent ice and freezing rain from accumulating directly onto the metal surface of antennas. In the case of a spinning radar dish antenna, the radome also protects the antenna from debris and rotational irregularities due to wind. Its shape is easily identified by its hard-shell, which has strong properties against being damaged. A simple method of predicting the performance of a Radome is the use of Doppler Theory. In this method the Radome is divided into a number of longitudinal sections (orange peel) along the curve length and joint together with overlap joint. In comparison with fiberglass, PTFE-coated fabric, etc. materials with bamboo fiber sheet is very less cost, light weight and strong and stiff. So there will be huge difference in overall cost and performance. the radome made by bamboo sheet(BMB) is not only natural and bio-degradable, it manifests in many other advantages, including the frugality of the innovation. Both in meeting the design criteria and the structural analysis, it has been observed that the BMB based material fares very well and strongly recommended.
