This paper suggests a dual-band 28/38 GHz four element MIMO array based on dual-mode planar monopole antennas for 5G wireless applications. The design structure contains four planar monopole antennas; located at the corners on a 20×20 mm 2 size Rogers RO4003 substrate with a dielectric constant of 3.55. The proposed planar monopole antenna has the shape of a crescent. In order to achieve the desired behavior and performance, we engraved two rectangular slots on both sides and also added a notch at the bottom. In addition, we used a partial ground plane to enhance the isolation. Signi cant isolation ( > − 23 dB) is achieved between antenna elements by employing spatial and polarization diversity techniques. To validate the design concept, a prototype of the fourelement MIMO array is designed, fabricated, and measured. The experimental results show that the proposed antenna can cover the 27.25-29 GHz and 34.5-41 GHz bands with good isolation and high e ciency. Furthermore, the radiation pattern, the realized gain and the channel capacity are also studied. According to the reached results, the proposed MIMO antenna may be a suitable application-oriented design for 5G MIMO applications at the millimeter-wave range.
