A simple and efficient method for evaluation of near field of the GSM base station antennas in urban environment is presented in this paper. The method is based on the replacement of panel antenna with a discrete linear array. Moreover, the geometrical optics approach is used to consider the influence of environment. The approximate results are found to be in excellent agreement with the results obtained by using the method of moments (MoM). Presented method can be successfully used for fast evaluation of exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by the GSM base station antennas in urban environment.
