In this paper a 2×2 single sided wrench shaped MIMO antenna has been proposed for UWB application. The proposed antenna covers frequency range from 4.2 to 9 GHz which covers most of the UWB band. In the proposed antenna a Y shaped structure with a rectangular slot is introduced in the center of the ground. This Y shaped structure with rectangular slot is used to reduce mutual coupling. In this antenna isolation greater than 16dB from 4.2 to 5.2 GHz and better than 21 dB above 5.2 GHz is achieved which are suitable for UWB portable devices.
