This article presents the miniaturization of an UWB planar monopole antenna covering the VHF band through the use of low loss Magneto-Dielectric Materials (MDM). A new structure of the planar monopole antenna using slots have been proposed, which allows to reach high miniaturization rates by covering partially the antenna with MDM. This new monopole structure shows a miniaturization rate of 60% by covering about only 12 % of the antenna surface by the MDM.
