Abstract :
This paper describes the simulated results of wearable finger ring type dual band antenna made of fabric cloth for BAN use. VSWR less than 2 was obtained at UHF band (950 MHz) and ISM band (2.45 GHz). The mechanism was cleared by the current distributions. The influence of the next fingers was made cleared.
