This study thoroughly investigates a two-port multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system tailored for 5G operation at 28 GHz. The proposed antenna is patched on a Rogers (RT5880) substrate with a relative permittivity of 2.2 and total size of 20×12×0.508 mm3. The mutual relationship between the radiating patches is refined using an H-shaped metamaterial structure to reduce the isolation to –55 dB. A MIMO configuration with attractive features is employed to reduce the envelope correlation coefficient (
