Abstract :
This paper describes the simulated and measured results of the very low profile antenna with wearable double finger ring for UWB band (7.25-10.25GHz). The height of the proposed antenna was 1 mm. VSWR less than 2 was obtained for UWB band with/without finger. It is shown that the finger do not affect on the input impedance as long as the double finger ring in mounted on finger.
