In this study, the associated integral equation, based on the derivation of the Green\u2019s functions in the spectral domain, is numerically solved employing the method of moments. In order to validate the computing method and the evaluated calculation code, numerical results are compared with available data in the literature treating particular cases of electrical uniaxial anisotropy; reasonable agreements are reported. Novel results of the magnetic uniaxial anisotropy effects on the input impedance and the evaluated electromagnetic field are presented and discussed. This work will serve as a stepping stone for further works for a better understanding of the electromagnetic field behavior in complex anisotropic and bi-anisotropic media.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/electronics10091050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,29]],"date-time":"2021-04-29T10:30:41Z","timestamp":1619692241000},"page":"1050","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Theoretical Study of the Input Impedance and Electromagnetic Field Distribution of a Dipole Antenna Printed on an Electrical\/Magnetic Uniaxial Anisotropic Substrate"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Mohamed Lamine","family":"Bouknia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d\u2019Electronique de Puissance et Commande Industrielle (LEPCI), Department of Electronics, University of Ferhat Abbas, S\u00e9tif -1-, S\u00e9tif 19000, Algeria"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8179-4062","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chemseddine","family":"Zebiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d\u2019Electronique de Puissance et Commande Industrielle (LEPCI), Department of Electronics, University of Ferhat Abbas, S\u00e9tif -1-, S\u00e9tif 19000, Algeria"}]},{"given":"Djamel","family":"Sayad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d\u2019Electrotechnique de Skikda (LES), University 20 Aout 1955-Skikda, Skikda 21000, Algeria"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0440-8025","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Issa","family":"Elfergani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es, Campus Universit\u00e1rio de Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"},{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Bradford, Bradford BD71DP, UK"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es, Campus Universit\u00e1rio de Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"},{"name":"Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Science, University of South Wales, Pontypridd CF37 1DL, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6074-8019","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad","family":"Alibakhshikenari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electronic Engineering Department, University of Rome \u201cTor Vergata\u201d, Via Del Politecnico 1, 00133 Rome, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2972-9965","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raed A.","family":"Abd-Alhameed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Bradford, Bradford BD71DP, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4911-9753","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Falcone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electric, Electronic and Communication Engineering Department, Public University of Navarre, 31006 Pamplona, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4668-7461","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ernesto","family":"Limiti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electronic Engineering Department, University of Rome \u201cTor Vergata\u201d, Via Del Politecnico 1, 00133 Rome, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"193","DOI":"10.3103\/S0735272717050016","article-title":"Rotation of the polarization plane by double-layer planar-chiral structures.
