Compared to other existing approaches working with far-field interferences, such a method focus on realistic situations where jamming sources are located both in the near-field or in the far-field of the antenna. Moreover, the effects of the mutual coupling are taken into account. A set of selected numerical results are presented in order to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed technique.} }
