A split ring resonator (SRR) antenna integrated in textile by embroidery is reported. The antenna was designed and produced by targeting two goals. First, a size reduction of the antenna was achieved by means of an SRR. Secondly, the connection loss was reduced by using a copper wire dipole fixed by embroidery. On the basis of numerical simulations, three operating modes are evidenced depending on the individual resonance frequency either of the dipole or resonatorrelated. Especially, a balanced mode is confirmed by experiments with two resonances measured at 1.8 and 2.2 GHz with a return loss greater than 31 dB. Finally, the textile antenna exhibits a radiation pattern similar to the radiation pattern of a dipole antenna.

A multiresonant split ring resonator (SRR) composed of two circular‐shaped meandered strips is presented. Resonances are first analyzed by means of eigenmodes computation and field mapping. It is shown that a resonance can emerge from a standing wave taking place in each slot produced by a meandered strip. A slot operates as a two‐wire transmission line section short‐circuited at one termination and loaded by an open‐circuit at the other end. Consecutively, a resonance occurs approximately when a quarter‐wavelength matches the length of the slot. A resonance frequency shift is observed, and it is related to a transverse magnetic coupling between a first antisymmetric mode and a second symmetric mode. Finally, multiple resonances in an SRR are experimentally evidenced by spectroscopy of the input impedance of an SRR resonator antenna. Experimental results are favorably compared with simulation.
