Annotation. Mathematical model of an optical antenna based on the discrete sources method has been realized. Scattering of plane electromagnetic wave by an antenna has been analyzed. Antenna represent itself a system of spheroid nanoparticles located inside a thin metal film, which is deposited on a glass prism. Results of computer modeling including the case of evanescent waves are presented.  

Key words: optical antenna, discrete sources method, nanoparticles.
