Abstract: The design of wideband multi-port multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas and their optimization are very important for next-generation smartphones with the increase in massive connectivity. This paper offers the design, simulation, measurement, and specific absorption rate (SAR) analysis of a Pi-shaped ten-element MIMO antenna system for use in the upper mid-band, covering LTE 46 (5.15–5.925 GHz), LTE 47 (5.855–5.925 GHz), and n102 (5.925–6.425 GHz), thus meeting a good fractional bandwidth of 32.7% with a maximum peak gain of 2.89 dBi. Hence, it is well suited for high-isolation (<−10 dB), compactness, and wideband (4.7–6.5 GHz) applications suitable for the current communication system needs. The overall size of the proposed system is 125 mm × 70 mm, with a planar dielectric material Rogers RT/5880. Designing the proposed antenna with multiple units entails the preservation of the spatial features of the antenna alongside the reduction of the mutual coupling for adjacent elements by using a decoupling structure. Due to the high accuracy of the positioning elements and precise geometric transformations, the antenna system provides high-performance analysis based on reflection coefficients, radiation patterns, and each antenna’s averaged efficiency values (76.12–91.57%).
