At the border of the RF-window the transition radiation is partially reflected propagating in the beam line backwards. In this contribution, we show a study of different geometries to suppress reflections generated at the transition to the RF-window. For higher permittivity the strength of these reflections becomes stronger, simultaneously reducing the measurable signal strength at the antenna.
