The amplitudes and phases of the electric field in the near zone of the linear and planar equidistant antenna arrays of a large electrical length on the basis of a radiating coaxial-slit cable, that are designed to provide reliable radio communication in the underground tunnels and at the railway transport, are calculated. It is shown that such antenna arrays have shaped a searchlight beam in the near zone upon condition that three or four linear radiating cables have radiated.References
