Abstract :
In this paper, we discuss a possibility of the small size and wearable fingerring antenna for UWB band (7.25GHz-10.25GHz). Details of the simulated results of the proposed antennas are presented and discussed. And it is confirmed that the human finger does not affect on the input impedance characteristic of the proposed double finger-ring antenna.
