This study presents a design of a wideband 4-port antenna array which is useful for MIMO applications. In the designed antenna array that operates over the frequency range from 7.25 to 10.25GHz, leaf-shaped notch antennas are employed as the radiating elements. In order to enhance the isolation between antenna elements, the radiating elements are arranged on the substrate such that polarizations of adjacent elements are orthogonal to each other. Characteristics of the designed antenna array are evaluated by the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) analysis. Over the above-mentioned frequency range, the designed antenna has the reflection coefficient of less than −10dB and the mutual coupling between ports below −19dB.
