Abstract :
The input impedance of a monopole antenna partially buried in an infinite grounded dielectric substrate and fed by a coaxial transmission line is calculated by the modal expansion method. The effect of the dielectric substrate on the antenna´s radiated power and input impedance is numerically examined
