In this study, we developed and investigated a small-diameter, low-profile, wideband orthogonal-polarisation multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna. A polarisation MIMO antenna is a combination of a modified sleeve antenna for vertical polarisation and a halo antenna with four parasitic elements for horizontal polarisation. Four parasitic elements vertically were loaded above and below the halo antenna, and a sleeve antenna with an upper sleeve structure was inserted inside the halo antenna to achieve a low profile, wideband antenna with a small diameter. Simulation and measurement results showed that the proposed antenna achieved a relative bandwidth of 10.1% (|S 11 | and |S 22 | ≤ −10 dB). For the lower frequency wavelength (λ min ) in the required bandwidth, the diameter and height of the proposed antenna are 0.14λ min and 0.57λ min respectively. Additionally, it is capable of orthogonal-polarisation isolation of approximately 20 dB within the operating frequency bandwidth.
