antenna pattern calculation at the presence of objects

[cross]

Dear All,

I'm interested in any useful sources/books-papers/code regarding the calculation of antenna patterns at the pressence of nearby obstacles (walls, metallic towers/objects etc). I'm interested in first principles on how to approach the topic. Any help or pointing to the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Cross

They've got some nice information on they're take on:
Antenna placement,
MLFMM,
PO,
UTD,
antenna design for placement on big structures.
