1. A method for arranging an antenna of a radio communication device, the method comprising:
determining radiation characteristics for a far-field region of the antenna;
determining a propagation direction for transmit radio frequency (RF) signals relative to the radio communication device;
determining an orientation for a surface corresponding to a region in a near-field region of the antenna; and
arranging the antenna for RF signal transmissions in the propagation direction based on a tangential component of an electric field to be induced by the antenna, wherein the tangential component is a component of the electric field that is parallel to the determined orientation at the surface.
