A modified corner‐fed dual‐polarised stacked patch antenna, with improved port isolation, is proposed. By shifting the feed points along the lower patch edge and introducing a triangular cut in the middle of another edge, the isolation between the two ports is improved significantly. The proposed antenna achieves a return loss of about 14 dB and a port isolation of more than 28 dB, within the band 2.5–2.7 GHz. The proposed antenna is highly suitable for micro‐base station applications in which features such as low profile, low cost and easy fabrication are required.
