Summary:A high gain and wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) for 5G new radio (NR) networks is introduced in this paper. The single unit is a monopole antenna with partial ground plane and two small triangles are cut out from the patch to produce the proposed frequency band. The two elements are located orthogonal to each other in order to reduce the mutual coupling without using isolation structure at the desired frequency 28 GHz. An artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is located underneath the MIMO antenna to improve the gain by about 55% over the entire achieved frequency band (26-31.5 GHz). The Suggested antenna model with the AMC structure is fabricated to verify the simulation results in terms of S-parameters, radiation patterns, gain, and diversity parameters. It is worth noting that the experimental results have the same trend of the simulation ones which makes the suggested AMC-based MIMO antenna applicable for 5G NR networks.
