Abstract :
The uniform geometrical theory of diffraction (UTD) has been successfully applied to a variety of practical problems involving antennas operating in their actual environments. In this paper, simple heuristic high-frequency expressions of UTD diffraction coefficients for thin dielectric screens are presented.
