A simple CAD model based on cavity model analysis is proposed to compute accurately the resonant frequency, input impedance, and gain of radome loaded rectangular patch antenna. The computed values using present model for wide range of radome parameters are compared with different theoretical and experimental values available in open literature. To validate the present model, we have performed several sets of experiments. The present model shows very close agreements with the experiments compared to the other models. We have also used electromagnetic software (HFSS) to generate simulated data. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 55:2460–2468, 2013
