The antenna offers a novel Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) operation from 25 to 50 GHz, using a Defective Ground Structure (DGS) technology. Firstly, its compact size makes it suitable for integrating different telecommunication devices for various applications, with a prototype fabricated having a total size of 33 mm \u00d7 33 mm \u00d7 0.233 mm. Second, the mutual coupling between the individual elements severely impacts the diversity properties of the MIMO antenna system. An effective technique of orthogonally positioning the antenna elements to each other increased their isolation; thus, the MIMO system provides the best diversity performance. The performance of the proposed MIMO antenna was investigated in terms of S-parameters and MIMO diversity parameters to ensure its suitability for future 5G mm-Wave applications. Finally, the proposed work was verified by measurements and exhibited a good match between simulated and measured results. It achieves UWB, high isolation, low mutual coupling, and good MIMO diversity performance, making it a good candidate and seamlessly housed in 5G mm-Wave applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23052702","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,2]],"date-time":"2023-03-02T07:10:59Z","timestamp":1677741059000},"page":"2702","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Compact UWB MIMO Antenna for 5G Millimeter-Wave Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6239-6918","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed Atef","family":"Abbas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering, Ain Shams University, Cairo 11566, Egypt"},{"name":"Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering, Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport, Cairo 11799, Egypt"}]},{"given":"Abdelmegid","family":"Allam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Head of Information Technology, GUC, Cairo 101516, Egypt"}]},{"given":"Abdelhamid","family":"Gaafar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering, Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport, Cairo 11799, Egypt"}]},{"given":"Hadia M.","family":"Elhennawy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering, Ain Shams University, Cairo 11566, Egypt"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6373-0447","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed Fathy Abo","family":"Sree","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering, Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport, Cairo 11799, Egypt"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"335","DOI":"10.1109\/ACCESS.2013.2260813","article-title":"Millimeter Wave Mobile Communications for 5G Cellular: It Will Work!","volume":"1","author":"Rappaport","year":"2013","journal-title":"IEEE Access"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1240","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-19705-3","article-title":"Dual Band Metamaterial Antenna For LTE\/Bluetooth\/WiMAX System","volume":"8","author":"Hasan","year":"2018","journal-title":"Sci.
