Abstract :
A method for computing the effect of the wave reflected inward from the edge of circular ground screens is developed. Numerical results show that the reflected wave is unimportant to the performance of very large screens and only of small importance for moderate size screens. However, as the screen size is further decreased, the relative importance of the reflected wave increases.
