An antenna element that has not only the self-isolated property but also a compact size is proposed for the fifth-generation multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) system in mobile phone applications. In particular, the size reduction is done by introducing two vertical stubs into the original self-isolated antenna element. It is demonstrated that very good isolation and antenna efficiency for an 8-antenna MIMO system can be obtained without using any additional isolation elements or decoupling techniques. An antenna prototype is fabricated and measured; and a quite good agreement between simulation and measurement is obtained.
