A novel MIMO sharp band‐notched antenna with high isolation for UWB applications is presented. The antenna consists of two antenna elements with an overall area of 18 × 36 mm 2 . A T‐shaped stub is extruded in the ground plane to improve isolation and an L‐shaped stub to introduce band‐notched function C‐band (3.62–4.77 GHz). The designed antenna possesses a low mutual coupling of <−20 dB over the operating band from 2.9 to 20 GHz. The performance of this antenna is studied in terms of isolation between the two ports, radiation pattern, efficiency, realised gain, and envelope correlation coefficient.
