A finite waveguide antenna array of open ends of the waveguides, which are surrounded by a metal screen, is under consideration. The influence of the permittivity and the height of dielectric plugs on the modulus of the reflection coefficient in waveguides of the finite antenna array is studied. Dielectric plugs with different values of permittivity are considered. It is shown that dielectric plugs effectively match the impedance of the antenna array for the case of a slight deviation of the beam from the normal to the array.
