Recently 15 GHz has been a frequency candidate for fifth generation (5G) mobile communication technology. Minimum bandwidth has to provide for 5G application is 1 GHz. In this paper we proposed antenna design to fullfill those requirement. We use microstrip patch antenna which has narrow bandwidth. To improve the bandwidth, we use proximity couple and observe the hexagonal patch antenna frequency response. We design a 4×4 MIMO antenna with less than -15 dB return loss and -20 dB mutual coupling to each ports. From the realization we have maximum bandwidth 1.34 GHz with lower frequency 14.42 GHz and upper frequency 15.76 GHz.
