ABSTRACT A printed antenna has been designed based on two‐dimensional image of a fractal‐jet fluid. The numerical analysis performed with HFSS software has reported multiband resonances over the frequency band 1–20 GHz. Experimental characterization in terms of impedance matching, bandwidth, gain, and radiation patterns over the band 1–6 GHz has shown a unique electromagnetic response of the antenna allowing it to be used as a chipless RFID tag for security applications. Details on the antenna design, numerical, and experimental results are presented and discussed. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 58:75–82, 2016
