| If our Bimini frame and top were horizontally in line with and behind the radar dome would it interfere with the radar signal to the rear? |

No. Even sail boat masts don't normally interfere. The reason is that the magnetron (or transistorized transmitter) is on a rotating bar. The rays are parallel and the bar is over 18" wide-some on up to 12 feet, about the maximal scanner on "smaller" private boats. Inside the "dome" there is a scanner rotating.
