In this project, a compact monopoles Multiple‐Input‐Multiple‐Output MIMO antenna with size 40 × 42 mm 2 that operates at 7 GHz is designed and proposed for 5th Generation mobile networks (5G) application. The antenna is built by using FR‐4 substrate and it consists of two planar antenna elements which arranged orthogonally to provide a good isolation between them. To further enhance the isolation and decrease the mutual coupling effect, a rod‐like parasite element is added in the design. Initial simulation result shows that the antenna can operate from 4 GHz to 9 GHz while measurement result proves that it can operate from 5.5 GHz to 9 GHz. Both results show that isolation is below −20 dB. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 59:1074–1077, 2017
