The impact of finite dielectric-covered ground-plane edge diffractions on the amplitude patterns of circular apertures is investigated. The model is based on the Geometrical Optics (GO) and the Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD) for an impedance wedge. The circular aperture antenna is mounted on square and circular finite ground planes that are coated with a thin lossy dielectric layer. The predictions based on the GO/UTD model are validated by comparisons to experimental results and simulated data.
