[0039] The good sealing performance of the radome affects the flow of air inside and outside the radome, resulting in poor heat dissipation performance of the antenna system.

If the temperature exceeds a preset range, an alarm unit is used to issue an alarm. An air supply device is used to supply air to the air inlet for processing, and the air is discharged through the air outlet, achieving heat exchange and reducing the temperature inside the weather hood. This achieves intelligent and automated temperature management inside the weather hood and facilitates timely detection of abnormalities.
