A novel and high-performance four-element ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is proposed in the paper. The proposed antenna is designed by using a novel integration technology of the symmetric layout, orthogonal structure, four-directional staircase-shaped decoupling, and multi-slit and multi-slot techniques. The mutual couplings among the antenna elements are significantly reduced by introducing the symmetric orthogonal and separated four-directional staircase-shaped structure. Furthermore, the antenna size is effectively miniaturized, and its impedance bandwidth is broadened by using a two-sided symmetric layout, partial and defected ground structure, the decoupling structure, and multi-slot and multi-slit techniques. Therefore, the antenna has the low-profile structure and a small dimension of 39mm
