Abstract :
This paper presents a novel logo-shaped antenna. The proposed antenna has been fabricated by using a conductive non-woven textile on a layer of jeans. Experimental data referring to a prototype working at 1.8 GHz are presented and compared with numerical results. A relative bandwidth of about 70% and a dipole-like radiation pattern is demonstrated.
