Textile logo antennas

Two novel textile antennas are presented in this paper. The geometry of the two antennas has been shaped so to mimic the logo of two popular companies: the French clothing company LACOSTE and the American multinational corporation APPLE Inc. Two prototypes fabricated by using a conductive non-woven textile on a layer of jeans are presented. Both prototypes were optimized to work at 1.8 GHz. From experimental data excellent performance are demonstrated.
