An efficient approach to analyze antennas in conducting environments is presented. It is based on the replacement of the antenna by sets of equivalent magnetic currents that become the sources of the impressed field over the conducting environment. The equivalent currents are calculated from the known near‐field pattern of the single antenna. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 31: 62–65, 2001.
