            Abstract : 
A novel compact Coplanar Stripline (CPS)-fed 3-port MIMO antenna for UWB (Ultra-Wideband) application is investigated. The proposed antenna consists of three staircase-shaped radiating elements, which are integrated on a single 45mm × 25mm × 1.6mm FR-4 substrate. Spatial and polarization diversity within the antenna elements provided an average isolation of more than 20 dB throughout the UWB band. Good pattern diversity with a low Envelope Correlation Coefficient of ≤ 0.0026 are obtained within the UWB band.
