Abstract
It is shown that by taking into account the mutual interference of different dipoles in an antenna array, the field around the array can be predicted more accurately. The conditions of validity for this model are less stringent than for the classic far-field method where the array antenna is treated as a point source. When this model is used for the design of an exclusion zone concerning safety with respect to electromagnetic radiation, a more accurate and smaller zone can be determined in comparison with the classical approach
