The proposed antenna, with a compact size of 30 \u00d7 20 \u00d7 1.6 mm3, consists of a two-element microstrip line-fed pentagonal-shaped patch associated with a parasitic element and a partial ground plane. Three complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) structures are integrated into the defected ground with the aims of reducing the mutual coupling and enhancing the bandwidth. A UWB impedance bandwidth is achieved covering the FCC band (3.1\u201310.6 GHz), corresponding to a reflection coefficient below \u221210 dB and a reduced mutual coupling below \u221222 dB. Additionally, acceptable limits of the diversity performance parameters are obtained. Furthermore, all the simulated outcomes of the suggested antenna are convenient for UWB-MIMO wireless applications. Measures carried out on the fabricated prototype of the antenna demonstrate good agreement between both the simulation and measurement results of the optimized two-port MIMO antenna.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/electronics12234852","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,30]],"date-time":"2023-11-30T09:39:12Z","timestamp":1701337152000},"page":"4852","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Low-Profile UWB-MIMO Antenna System with Enhanced Isolation Using Parasitic Elements and Metamaterial Integration"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Yamina","family":"Tighilt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d\u2019Instrumentation Scientifique (LIS), Department of Electronics, Faculty of Engineering, University of Ferhat Abbas, Setif-1, Setif 19000, Algeria"}]},{"given":"Chahrazed","family":"Bensid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d\u2019Electronique de Puissance et Commande Industrielle (LEPCI), Department of Electronics, University of Ferhat Abbas, Setif-1, Setif 19000, Algeria"}]},{"given":"Djamel","family":"Sayad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d\u2019Electrotechnique de Skikda (LES), University 20 Aout 1955-Skikda, Skikda 21000, Algeria"}]},{"given":"Samira","family":"Mekki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d\u2019Electronique de Puissance et Commande Industrielle (LEPCI), Department of Electronics, University of Ferhat Abbas, Setif-1, Setif 19000, Algeria"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8742-4716","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rami","family":"Zegadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d\u2019Electronique de Puissance et Commande Industrielle (LEPCI), Department of Electronics, University of Ferhat Abbas, Setif-1, Setif 19000, Algeria"}]},{"given":"Mohamed Lamine","family":"Bouknia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d\u2019Electronique de Puissance et Commande Industrielle (LEPCI), Department of Electronics, University of Ferhat Abbas, Setif-1, Setif 19000, Algeria"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0440-8025","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Issa","family":"Elfergani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u014fes, Campus Universit\u00e1rio de Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"},{"name":"School of Engineering and Informatics, University of Bradford, Bradford BD7 1DP, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0378-6657","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pankaj","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan 38541, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u014fes, Campus Universit\u00e1rio de Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9803-9346","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chemseddine","family":"Zebiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d\u2019Electronique de Puissance et Commande Industrielle (LEPCI), Department of Electronics, University of Ferhat Abbas, Setif-1, Setif 19000, Algeria"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Che, F., Ahmed, Q.Z., Lazaridis, P.I., Sureephong, P., and Alade, T.
