The MIMO antenna is developed in multiple iterations, including single-element design, cross-polarization reduction, and mutual coupling reduction. Initially, a single-element coplanar edge feed rectangular patch antenna is designed and the E-plane cross-polarization is reduced by \u221213 dB by trimming the forward corners of the patch. The ground plane is truncated to improve the \u22123 dB half-power-beamwidth (HPBW). A multi-wavelength spiral inspired parasitic surrounding the single element antenna is loaded, and performance analysis is performed. This parasitic element is used for self-field cancelation for the MIMO configuration. Two MIMO configurations, one with linear and the second with inverted elements, are developed and investigated. The first configuration is found to have better isolation of less than \u221225 dB compared to the \u221220 dB of the second configuration. Similarly, the gain of 4.8 dBi, the bandwidth of 3 GHz, envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) of 0.01, and diversity gain (DG) of 9.99 dB are superior to the second configuration. To validate the work, one of two MIMO configurations is fabricated and good agreement is found between simulation and measurement results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22197283","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,28]],"date-time":"2022-09-28T03:30:37Z","timestamp":1664335837000},"page":"7283","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Miniaturized Parasitic Loaded High-Isolation MIMO Antenna for 5G Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Kiran Chand","family":"Ravi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics Engineering, VIT-AP University, Amaravati 522 237, Andhra Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3381-2764","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jayendra","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics Engineering, VIT-AP University, Amaravati 522 237, Andhra Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"The FCC\u2019s (2022, March 04). 5G FAST, Plan, Spectrum, Available online: https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/5G."},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"1065","article-title":"What will 5G be?","volume":"32","author":"Andrews","year":"2014","journal-title":"IEEE J.
