Abstract

An innovative antenna on flexible substrate with two resonators is presented. The antenna is composed of a metallic wire sewn on the substrate. Two dipolar modes in far field are radiated. To understand the interaction of the resonators with the principal antenna, studies with and without the sleeves are done in near field and far field.
