        abstract = {In this paper, the compact two port MIMO microstrip patch antenna at 5.8 GHz band is designed and simulated for Wi-Fi application. The main focus of this work is to improve the isolation between closely placed antenna while keeping good radiation performance. One of major challenges in MIMO is mutual coupling which degrade the performance parameters like return loss, efficiency and connection. In order to mitigate mutual coupling, stub based isolation approach is used. Designed antenna consists of Rogers RT5880 substrate with a dielectric constant of 2.2 and substrate thickness 1.6mm. Configuration of single patch, MIMO without Isolation and MIMO with Stub are considered for analysis and simulation using CST Studio suite software. Simulated results show that proposed structure is able to achieve return loss better than -25dB and isolation of -16dB at desired resonating frequency of 5.8 GHz along with stable radiation pattern, low Envelope Connection Coefficient (ECC) and efficiency. The proposed antenna can be applied to modern wireless communication system including Wi-Fi, 5G and IoT.},
