In this project, method of designing of high gain and mutual coupling reduction is proposed, which can be done by antipodal Vivaldi antenna (AVA) for 5G applications. For the reduction of isolation between the antenna elements, the antennas are not placed adjacent to each other because they have a chance of absorbing the energy which is to be transmitted. The proposed AVA comprises of 2 x 1 multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna elements. The antenna parameter enhancement techniques used in this design are corrugation and circular slots. The antenna dimensions are 50mm x 48mm x 0.8mm. Here, we use corrugation and circular slots method, as to increase the gain than previously designed antenna. The maximum isolation of antenna is achieved is 37dB and gain is improved in the desired range. The simulated gain is in the range of 7.1-14.4 dB in the frequency band of 20-30GHz.
