  • Abstract
    This paper describes the simulated results of the very low profile monopole antenna with wearable double finger ring for UWB band (7.25GHz-10.25GHz). The height of the proposed antenna element was 1 mm. So, very low profile antenna was realized. VSWR less than 2 was obtained for UWB band without a finger. On the other hand, VSWR less than 2.1 was obtained with finger. It is shown that the finger doesn´t affect on the input characteristic as long as the double finger ring is mounted on finger.
