The impedance of a short dipole antenna has been computed using the quasistatic approximation, a triangular current distribution, and the full adiabatic hydrodynamic description of the plasma. Some typical results are presented which show that for parameters typical of the ionosphere the temperature affects mainly the radiation resistance.
