Abstract :
The directivity of a uniformly excited circular aperture in an infinite ground plane is reexamined in the light of recently acquired knowledge related to Q-type integrals. It is seen that depending on aperture size, numerical corrections to the directivity estimates for such apertures can be easily accommodated.
