    Abstract: A vehicle radome can include one or more front pieces each formed of a first resin and collectively defining a decorative feature and a back piece formed of a non-transparent second resin and defining a specific non-uniform thickness for mitigating electromagnetic attenuation through the radome with respect to a radar device. A method for manufacturing the multi-piece vehicle radome can include molding, using one or more first molds, a first resin to form one or more front pieces that collectively define a decorative feature, inserting the one or more front pieces into a second mold, molding, using the second mold, a non-transparent second resin to form a back piece, and removing the radome from the second mold.

    Abstract: A radome for a vehicle can include a cover piece formed of a first resin that is transparent and defining a back surface that defines one of a first recess and a first protrusion. The radome can include an intermediate piece formed of a second resin defining a front surface that is coated with a metalloid and that defines the other of the first recess and the first protrusion. The radome can further include a back piece formed of a third resin that is non-transparent and defining a top surface that defines one of a second recess and a second protrusion configured to be mated with at least a portion of at least one of the intermediate piece and the cover piece. Manufacturing the radome can involve using three different molds for forming the cover, intermediate, and back pieces, and applying the metalloid coating.
