Magnetic monopoles; electromagnetic waves; pulsars; dispersion relation; dispesion measure; phase shift

The dispersion relation of electromagnetic waves in the presence of magnetic monopoles of electron mass in a uniform magnetic field is obtained. The waves of the frequencyω in the range ω_ϱi<Ω_i<ω<Ω_e<ω_ϱa are analysed. It is shown that the monopole charges lead to observable effects. Finally, the results are applied to a typical pulsar.
